This is a scripted one-hour drama that takes an unflinching and unapologetic look at the lives of pole dancers working down in the Dirty Delta. Creator and writer Katori Hallwill executive produce "Pussy Valley" with Chernin Entertainment's Peter Chernin; Jenno Topping; and Dante Di Loreto. Khaliah Neal will serve as consulting producer. Set in an infamous Mississippi "shake junt" called the Pink Pony, "Pussy Valley" is an intimate window to the unexplored southern strip club world, where the desires of pro-ballers and politicians collide with the dreams of five brave women. For these women, the line between performance and reality becomes blurred, as the drama of their outside lives threaten their onstage personas. On the quest for money, power, and respect, each woman must make a choice. For some it's a step down, for others a step up, as the Pink Pony stage constantly shape-shifts between a platform for freedom and a gilded cage.

When legendary African-American entrepreneur and philanthropist Madam C.J. Walker, aka Sarah Breedlove, rises up from the ashes of slavery to become a black hair care pioneer and mogul, she becomes America's first African-American, female self-made millionaire.
