As well as using footage from the initial documentary, ABC’s 20/20 presenter Elizabeth Vargas travelled to the UK to update viewers on Piper’s progress. Vargas interviewed Piper and her family, and spoke to her surgeon and friends.
Mentorn International MD David Leach said of ABC: “Their 20/20 strand has an established journalistic reputation and we are pleased to be working with them on this project to bring Katie’s story to an international audience.”
“Katie’s Story” Airs on ABC News’ “20/20,” Friday, January 8
At age 24, British model Katie Piper seemed to have it all, stunning beauty, a non-stop social life and a growing career as a print and television personality in England. But in a shocking moment filmed entirely by security cameras on a busy London street, Katie was doused with sulfuric acid by a complete stranger. Her face and body were badly burned, and any hope of continuing her life as a model was over. Worse, Katie suspected that the attack had been orchestrated by a new boyfriend. But why would someone do this?
In amazing footage captured over the course of 18 months, this Friday’s “20/20″ chronicles Katie’s incredible road to recovery, including her inspiring decision to speak out and her courageous fight for justice against the men who destroyed her dreams.
“20/20″ co-anchor Elizabeth Vargas sits down with Katie Piper for her first American television interview since the attack, in which Piper describes in detail the moment that changed her life forever, as well as her struggle to survive against all odds. “Katie’s Story” airs FRIDAY, JANUARY 8 (10:00-11:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.
“20/20″ is anchored by Elizabeth Vargas and Chris Cuomo. David Sloan is the executive producer.
