On August 15, a little more than two months after the devastating mass shooting at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, the MTV series “True Life” will feature the stories of 4 survivors.

From MTV: “True Life: We Are Orlando, which will premiere on August 15, will showcase four brave survivors of the attack as they try to come to terms with the trauma and get their lives back on track. But there’s a twist: For the first time in the series’ run, viewers will become acquainted with those featured on the program before the episode airs and follow their stories as they are being filmed.”

The shooting at Pulse was the deadliest mass shooting in American history, leaving 49 dead and 53 injured.

From Entertainment Weekly: "Spotlighted in the August 15 episode are Tony Marrero, Joshua McGill, Patience Carter, and Tiara Parker. Marrero faces a long road to recovery after being shot four times, including once in the back, while also dealing with the loss of his best friend, who died that night. McGill was one of many heroes that night as he fled to the back of the club to help a man in need and helped save him. Carter and Parker were on vacation from Philadelphia and ended up hiding the bathroom throughout the shooter’s three-hour standoff with police."

Beginning Monday, MTV will release clips featuring the 4 survivors while production is still underway.
