DESCRIPTION:
(from Showtime's press release, August 2021) SHOWTIME has announced a pilot order for the drama series COERCION, written and directed by Oscar and Emmy(R) nominee Susannah Grant (Unbelievable, Erin Brockovich) and starring Sydney Chandler (Don't Worry Darling, Pistol). The series, produced by wiip, is inspired by the life of Rebecca Bender, a national leader on and survivor of sex trafficking. The announcement was made by Amy Israel, Executive Vice President, Scripted Programming, Showtime Networks Inc. Bender is now one of the nation's foremost experts on the subject and a leading consultant for federal law enforcement on how to spot it, prosecute it and protect the victims in its web.
