Ever since her critically acclaimed debut as Claireece "Precious" Jones in the 2009 drama Precious — for which she earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress, along with Golden Globe and Independent Spirit Award wins — Gabourey Sidibe has regularly been turning in intense and emotional performances over the years, whether on Empire, The Big C or American Horror Story. And tonight, she's adding another powerful role to her filmography as the lead of Lifetime's newest drama film, Give Me Back My Daughter.
Premiering tonight, April 5, at 8pm Eastern Time on Lifetime, Give Me Back My Daughter tells the story of Renee (played by Sidibe) and her daughter, Imani (Cadence Reese), who are left homeless after Renee loses her job and they are evicted from their home.
