Oprah Winfrey has been announced as a producer for a new documentary on sexual assault in the music industry that's due to arrive on Apple TV+ next year.

The documentary, led by Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering, will, according to a press release, focus on "a brilliant former music executive who grapples with whether to go public with her story of assault by a notable figure in the music industry. The film is a profound examination of race, gender, class and intersectionality, and the toll assaults take on their victims and society at large."

As Rolling Stone notes, Dick and Ziering have previously worked on two documentaries on the subject of sexual abuse - 2012's The Invisible War, and 2015's The Hunting Ground.

Oprah Winfrey has been vocal with her support towards the #MeToo and Time’s Up movement.

The documentary is still currently untitled, and is yet to get a release date. It's due to arrive on Apple TV+ in 2020.
