Overview
- Disney+ announced the feature-length documentary Wednesday at Series Mania in a keynote by EMEA content chief Angela Jain.
- The retrospective will trace Duffy’s life from her childhood in Wales to her rise to global fame and her withdrawal from public view after a violent assault.
- Production is set to begin soon with Rare TV and Stellify Media producing, Fernando De Jesus and Matthew Worthy as executive producers, and Gill Callan directing.
- Jain said Duffy has entrusted the team with her story and pledged to handle the film with great care and sensitivity.
- Duffy disclosed in 2020 that she was drugged, kidnapped, taken to another country, and sexually assaulted over weeks, which she said explained her retreat after the late-2000s success of Rockferry and Mercy.
