DESCRIPTION:
(from Lifetime's press release, April 2024) Lifetime reteams with Elizabeth Smart to executive produce the network's authorized Ripped from the Headlines feature, The Girl Locked Upstairs: The Tanya Kach Story, starring Robert Baker (Supergirl) and Jordyn Ashley Olsen (My Mom's Letter from Heaven). The film, set to premiere this summer and based on a true story, follows Tanya Kach, who was groomed by the security guard at her middle school and held captive in his home for ten years. Following the movie Lifetime will air the special, Beyond the Headlines: The Tanya Kach Story with Elizabeth Smart. Tanya Kach (Olsen) was fourteen and at risk, struggling with an unhappy home life and the victim of bullying at her new school. Feeling isolated and lonely, she is befriended by Tom Hose (Baker), the school's security guard, who manages to lure Tanya to his home, where he held her captive and sexually abused her for over a decade. Convinced he had Tanya brainwashed and that she would never attempt escape, Tom eventually allows her to take on a part time job. Out from under Tom's watchful eye, Tanya finally finds the courage to take a dangerous step toward freedom. |
