Veteran actor/musician Cher is to star in a feature film about the Flint water crisis, the toxic-contamination crisis that has affected the Michigan city since 2014 and which has led to multiple charges of misconduct against local officials.
Cher donated thousands of bottles of mineral water to Flint residents via the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan in January 2016.
The crisis is also to be the subject of a documentary produced by Crash director Paul Haggis.
Driving Miss Daisy’s Bruce Beresford has been hired to direct, and the project is being produced for the Lifetime cable network.
