What Is Lifetime’s The Other Black Girl About?

According to Deadline, this movie “tells the story of a mother named Cheryl (Beauvais) whose daughter Lauren (Halley) is nowhere to be found. Authorities and media dismiss Lauren as a runaway while focusing heavily on another missing girl, who is white. Cheryl and her 15-year-old daughter Marley (Mosby) enlist the help of a dedicated community of amateur internet sleuths to try to find Lauren.”

“Cheryl also discovers the Black and Missing Foundation and is horrified to discover the disparity in how missing persons of color cases are treated with significant lack of media attention and law enforcement resources.”
