Uma Thurman has taken the lead in the indie drama Girl Soldier says Variety.Based on Kathy Cook's book "Stolen Angels," which chronicles the 1996 raid at a boarding school in Uganda, where a band of armed rebels abducted young girls to turn them into soldiers and sex slaves.
A teacher at the school, Sister Caroline (Thurman), tracked the rebels back to their camp to demand the girls' release; 110 were returned to the nun, who then began a crusade over the next few years as she rallied the world to aid in rescuing not only her own girls but other children in rebel captivity.
Directed by Will Raee from the adapted script by Stephanie Pinola. Filming kicks off early next year.
It's been awhile since Thurman bit into a meaty dramatic role...Good For Her...
