There have been many voices left unheard in Flint, Michigan, and hopefully Cher can use her own voice to raise awareness here as much as she has in the real world.
She has been very active in efforts to aid those in need, as well as drawing more attention to everything that’s happening.
According to Deadline, she was the one who contacted the producers after hearing about the project, and the role was then written specifically for her.
The project is a fact-heavy drama that will spotlight everything that led to the shocking downward spiral, from the faulty management and officials responsible for things getting so bad in the first place, as well as the incredibly poor response to the crisis from all involved.
