Anna Paquin to Star in The Irena Sendler Story
Paquin will play Sendler, a Polish woman credited with saving the lives of thousands of Jewish children during World War II. Sendler, a Nobel Peace Prize nominee, died in May at age 98.
John Kent Harrison is directing from his own script, based on the book "Mother of the Children of the Holocaust: The Irena Sendler Story," by Anna Mieszkowska.
The telefilm goes into production next month in Riga, Latvia, for an April premiere.

Wow! Fantastic! This not only sounds like an important story but Riga, Latvia is one of the best kept secrets (in terms of beautiful cities) in all of Europe... This project is so exciting!
