Investigation Discovery (ID) is preparing to delve into the controversial history of Chris Brown in its latest documentary endeavor.

The network, known for its investigative projects, has announced a documentary titled Chris Brown: A History of Violence, which is set to premiere on October 27, as reported by Variety. This documentary aims to explore the singer’s alleged history of abuse, following ID’s previous success with Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV, a deep dive into the darker aspects of children’s television.

The documentary’s logline reveals that it will cover “Chris Brown’s past all the way back to his troubled childhood, exploring the lasting impact of the cycle of abuse, and posing the question: how does a man with such a violent public record maintain his superstar status?” Featuring insights from experts and cultural commentators, the documentary will provide thoughtful reflections on the experiences of survivors and the psychological damage inflicted in the wake of their abuse.

THE VIEW WILL REVIEW DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

Following the documentary’s premiere, The View co-host Sunny Hostin will lead a discussion on domestic violence. Hostin, a former prosecutor and advocate for women and children’s rights, shared her thoughts on the importance of the conversation: “Throughout my career, I have always prioritized being a fierce defender of women and children. Domestic violence is a very close, personal issue to me as I reflect on my past as a prosecutor of these types of cases, and in my role as a mother and public figure whose actions inform and help shape the next generation. This issue is a prevalent epidemic which knows no socio-economic boundaries, so I am dedicated to expanding and continuing this crucial conversation. The more we know, the better we can help advocate for change as a society.”
