Streamer Discovery+ has acquired the broadcast rights to upcoming documentary “Introducing Selma Blair,” which spotlights Blair’s battle with multiple sclerosis. The logline: A deeply personal story of resilience, “Introducing Selma Blair spotlights a woman battling her disease as she grapples with challenges such as dissecting deep-rooted myths about beauty, the collective fear around disability and mortality, as well as the struggle for self-acceptance and the search for serenity.
