*Meghan Markle reportedly has a first project lined up as part of her and husband Prince Harry’s mega-deal with Netflix.
The Sun reports that she’s pitching a documentary about Patrisse Cullors, one of three Black women who founded the Black Lives Matter movement. Also, The Mirror quoted a source who said that Markle pitched the doc to Netflix because she’s been “blown away by the incredible work Patrisse has done” in spearheading the BLM movement.
As previously reported, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex inked a multi-year deal with the streaming giant that will see them produce documentaries, feature films, scripted shows and children’s programming under their unnamed production company.
Cullors, 36, was driven into action by the acquittal of George Zimmerman for fatally shooting Trayvon Martin in Florida. She, Alicia Garza and Opal Tometi founded Black Lives Matter in 2013. Below, Cullors speaks about the ideological direction of BLM in a June 2020 interview, and explains the entire movement in a Jan. 2018 chat with Time.
