BET has ordered Finding Justice, a six-episode docuseries from executive producers Dwayne Johnson and Dany Garcia and their Seven Bucks Productions.
Finding Justice tells the powerful stories of heroes, leaders, advocates and change agents in African American communities across America as they uncover injustices and fight to bring healing and change. Combining the grit and edge of investigative journalism and the profound heart of a powerful documentary, Finding Justice, from executive producers Johnson, Garcia and David Leepson, takes a look at the faces of change in Black America.
“BET is immensely proud to partner with Dwayne, Dany and David to bring Finding Justice to our viewers,” said Scott Mills, President of BET Networks. “In this challenging time of divisiveness and inequality, it is essential that we highlight both the challenges facing African American communities and the people who are fighting for change. It is our hope that this powerful docuseries will engage and empower our audience to continue to fight against the terrible injustices that disproportionately affect our community.”
Finding Justice marks Seven Bucks Productions first collaboration with BET.
“Seven Bucks Productions was built on the foundation of bringing diverse and influential stories to the masses,” said Johnson. “Which is why were excited to partner with BET to bring these powerful stories of injustice from the African-American community to light. More importantly, with this series, were pushing to create a platform that will enable healing, and inspire change on a global scale.”
Added Garcia, “Weve wanted to partner with BET for a very long time, and with Finding Justice, were able to expose, and uncover the injustices that occur to minority communities, every day in the United States. The heroes and change makers we showcase arent always names our audience would be familiar with, but they are the heroes that are fighting for change every day, and were thrilled to play a part in highlighting their journey and their fight.”
Finding Justice is produced by Johnson and Garcias Seven Bucks Productions and Leepsons Leepson Bounds.
“With America in a disturbing state of social unrest, its absolutely necessary to expose these injustices now,” said Leepson. “Dwayne is a hero on screen and off, representing justice, hard work and equal chances for all — I am honored to partner with him, Seven Bucks Productions and BET, the perfect home for this show, as we message healing and force change.”
Johnson starred in Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, Sonys highest-grossing film ever at the domestic box office. He also stars on Ballers series for HBO and next headlines Rampage, which opens this weekend. All three are Seven Bucks productions.
