FROM THE BOTTOM UP

From the Bottom Up small logo


"From the Bottom Up" is a six-part docu-series that follows the journey of five women, after falling from grace, as they try to make the necessary changes to turn their lives around and find redemption for themselves and their families. The series provides an unfettered view into their world and the organic chaos within their individual lives. The series tackles real, raw, gritty, emotional and honest issues from women who are smiling on the outside, but two minutes from dying on the inside. It's not what you have, but what you do with what you have that matters! This series was originally scheduled to air on Centric but will now be airing on BET.
