Investigation Discovery is setting its sights on Chris Brown with its next documentary.

Investigation Discovery has announced a new documentary that will detail Chris Brown’s alleged history of abuse. The network previously helmed the viral Nickelodeon exposé, Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV. The upcoming project is titled, Chris Brown: A History of Violence, and will air on October 27th, according to Variety.

The logline for the documentary notes that it will detail, “Chris Brown’s past all the way back to his troubled childhood, explores the lasting impact of the cycle of abuse, and poses the question: how does a man with such a violent public record maintain his superstar status? With expert and cultural commentary layered throughout, the documentary provides thoughtful reflections into each survivor’s experience and the psychological destruction in the aftermath of their abuse.”

After the documentary airs, The View co-host Sunny Hostin will engage in a discussion about domestic violence on the network. “Throughout my career, I have always prioritized being a fierce defender of women and children,” Hostin said in a statement. “Domestic violence is a very close, personal issue to me as I reflect on my past as a prosecutor of these types of cases, and in my role as a mother and public figure whose actions inform and help shape the next generation. This issue is a prevalent epidemic which knows no socio-economic boundaries, so I am dedicated to expanding and continuing this crucial conversation. The more we know, the better we can help advocate for change as a society.”
