The Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) will launch a documentary film club when it premieres in 2011, The Hollywood Reporter said Wednesday.
Borrowing on the success of the insanely-popular Oprah Book Club, the eagerly-awaited cable network will partner with Ro*co Productions for a monthly series. All selections will have inspirational themes, sources say.
Footage from each month’s features will stream on OWN.tv, while some of the documentaries will receive national theater distribution. OWN, which debuts in Jan. 2011, plans to create communities across the nation to screen and discuss the films in a live panel event.
Charla Nash is speaking up ever since she was attacked by her friend's chimpanzee Travis in February 2009, losing most of her face and some of her scalp and jawbone as a result.
She appeared on the "Oprah Winfrey" show Wednesday to discuss her life recuperating at the hospital since that incident and to show her face on her own terms.
Nash, 55, had never revealed her face to the public until that point. Winfrey discussed why during her interview with Nash below:
The following Celeb TV segment, which obtained footage from "Oprah," actually reveals Nash's face, which she usually keeps hidden with a veiled hat. Warning: The image may be disturbing for some. Skip the video if you'd rather not see it. WATCH NOW:
At the time of the February attack, Travis was shot and killed by police officers.
Nash is hoping to get a face and hand transplant. She can no longer see since her eyes were removed.
Although we're saddened and horrified by this heartbreaking story, we're always amazed by human resilience and respect Nash for choosing how she'd like to be seen by the world and how she's going to proceed with her life.

BeBe Winans wife is pisssed! So after Oprah basically blackballs Chris Brown for beating up Rhianna, she goes and decides to have gospel artist BeBe Winans, who has a domestic violence charge pending on him now, on her show.
What kind of foolishness is that? Our friends over at eurweb.cpm are reporting that Winans ex-wife she is very hurt that Oprah would make the decision to have BeBe Winans on the show.
The crazy thing is, BeBe Winans was arrested in February, the day right before Oprah had aired her domestic violence special as her response to the Chris Brown and Rhianna incident. And not only is BeBe going to be on the show, he is the host of “Oprah’s Karaoke Challenge,” which is a nationwide competition to find the best karaoke singer.
In my opinion Oprah is being a little contradictive. If she is going to allow BeBe on the show, then why not Chris Brown? What do ya’ll think? WATCH NOW:
