Smart narrates the upcoming Lifetime movie, which mixes documentary elements with a scripted recreation. She also serves as a producer on the project. What was great was to be able to work with Elizabeth and see what was not able to be included in that version of the story that we can now do properly, Freed said. We can finally tell the complete story and do it with Elizabeth herself. We first met Elizabeth after seeing her speak, and it was an honor to even have a meeting with her, said executive producer Allison Berkley. We read her books and then we got to know her to see what kind of story she really wanted to tell. So we worked on it for two years before we even went out to pitch, because it was really important to us to build that trust, understand Elizabeths point of view.
