LOS ANGELES, CA (August 11, 2026) – Lifetime continues its commitment to bringing powerful, conversation-driving stories to audiences with Surviving the Silence: The Roxane Gay Story, executive produced and written by acclaimed author, cultural critic and New York Times bestselling writer Roxane Gay. Premiering Saturday, September 5, at 8\/7c, the Lifetime Original Movie is adapted from Gay’s internationally praised 2017 memoir, Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body, an unflinching examination of trauma, survival, body image and healing. Narrated by Gay herself, the film stars Hilda Martin as young Roxane and Sunnii E. Bartee as Roxane as an adult.
\n
\n<\/p>\n
When 12-year-old Roxane moves with her family to what appears to be the ideal suburban community, her life is forever changed after a devastating act of sexual violence. As she grapples with the lasting effects of that trauma, Roxane turns to food as a means of survival, beginning a lifelong journey to understand her body, reclaim her voice and confront a society that often defines women by their appearance. Surviving the Silence: The Roxane Gay Story is a deeply personal portrait of resilience, identity and the enduring pursuit of self-acceptance.
\n
\n<\/p>\n
Surviving the Silence: The Roxane Gay Story is executive produced by Suzanne Todd, Howard Braunstein and Roxane Gay in association with Suzanne Todd Productions.The film is directed by Asia Youngman from a screenplay written by Roxane Gay.
