Elizabeth Smart’s involvement in I Am Elizabeth Smart makes it an entirely different Lifetime movie

Variety

Smart’s presence helps redefine victimhood, says Sonia Saraiya, casting “the production into an entirely different light. It’s the story of a woman in peril, narrated by and featuring the woman in peril herself, telling the audience what really happened to her and how it felt. The perspective elevates the dramatization from a titillating scary story to spoken-word horror.”
