Channel 4 Cutting Edge Documentary Opportunity for Women in Business
Betty is making a new documentary about motherhood for Channel 4’s prestigious Cutting Edge strand. The documentary will follow two women through the latter stages of pregnancy and on to life with their new baby.
They hope to follow one woman under 20 and another over 37 years to explore this life changing experience that unites both women at different stages in their lives. Each will undoubtedly meet their own challenges and triumphs throughout the journey. Ultimately, the aim is to make an empowering and insightful programme.
At the moment they are particularly keen to speak to first time expectant mothers who have been pregnant for at least 30 weeks plus and are either under 20 yrs or over 37 years. At this early stage it would just be an informal chat and talking to Dee Kahlon which would in no way commit you to any further involvement in the documentary. Obviously, if a suitable pregnant woman did wish to explore the opportunity further they'd be delighted to tell her more and consider her for the final programme.
Typically there is a short deadline and they are hoping to speak to any women interested in simply having a chat with Dee within the next week or so. If anyone is interested in finding out more they can contact Dee by email on mums@betty.co.uk or call Elaine on 020 7290 0535.
