Julia Roberts to Portray African Environmentalist Joan Root

The Hollywood actress Julia Roberts is to portray the African wildlife conservationist Joan Root, who has been murdered in January in her Kenyan home. Roberts will produce the movie in a partnership with Working Title Films.
The screenplay is to be written by David Magee, who’s known for his project “Finding Neverland”. The movie was inspired by a Vanity Fair article by Mark Seal entitled “A Flowering Evil”.
The movie was announced to follow the environmentalist earlier life alongside her partner and husband Alan Root. She will then be presented after the divorce from Root, as returning to her home from Lake Naivasha, where she devoted herself to saving the lake from the ecological damage made by the flower-farm industry. After this she will be shot.
The movie was announced to be shooting in Africa, starting next year.
