At 3PM (ET/PT), Raven-Symone stars in the true story "For One Night," followed at 5PM (ET/PT) by "Fighting the Odds: The Marilyn Gambrell Story," starring Jami Gertz.

At 7 PM (ET/PT), Fantasia Barrino portrays herself in "The Fantasia Barrino Story: Life is Not a Fairy Tale," the second most watched movie in Lifetime's history, leading into "Racing for Time" at 9PM (ET/PT).

"Racing for Time" is produced by von Zerneck Sertner Films, Tiara Blu Films and Harbor Lights Productions for Lifetime Television.
