Uma Thurman to be a 'Soldier'

By Adnan Tezer Jul 21, 2009, 23:10 GMT

Uma Thurman will star in the indie drama "Girl Soldier" for Caspian Pictures, portraying a cleric who helped rescue 140 schoolgirls abducted in Uganda.

According to Variety, Diane Nabatoff ("Narc"), Allan Mindel ("My Own Private Idaho") and Will Raee are producing, with Raee to direct from a script by Stephanie Pinola and Karen Croner.

Story's based on Kathy Cook's book "Stolen Angels," which follows the 1996 raid at a boarding school, where a band of armed rebels abducted young girls to turn them into soldiers and sex slaves.

A teacher at the school, Sister Caroline, 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 parents, the government, the United Nations and the pope to aid in rescuing not only her own girls but other children in rebel captivity.
