<p>Queen Latifah and Jill Scott will star in a new Lifetime original film about the water contamination crisis that has been going on in Flint, MI.</p>
<p>According to <em><a href="http://deadline.com/2017/04/queen-latifah-betsy-brandt-jill-scott-marin-ireland-star-flint-lifetime-water-crisis-movie-1202069713/">Deadline</a></em>, Queen Latifah will serve an executive producer alongside, Craig Zadan, Neil Meron and Katie Couric.</p>
<p>Directed by Bruce Beresford and written by Barbara Stepansky, the film was inspired by the Time Magazine cover story, “The Toxic Tap,” by Josh Sanburn.</p>
<p>According to the synopsis, the story will follow &#8220;the true story of three women from Flint who sought justice following the wrongdoing committed against the residents of the city who were unknowingly drinking and using lead-laden water.”</p>
<p>Jill Scott will play one of the three activists, along with Betsy Brandt and Marin Ireland. Queen Latifah will play a “fourth resident, fighting to expose the poisoning of the community during the horrific events of the water crisis.”</p>
<p>Another big name that was previously attached to the film was Cher, but she had to pull of the film due to a family matter that prevented her from leaving Los Angeles.</p>
