The movie will be based on the life of Jody Williams, a teacher who quit her job to pursue a career in global activism. She was later honoured with the Nobel Peace Prize for championing the cause to get rid of land mines.
A controversial figure, Williams made the headlines when she called Bill Clinton a "weenie" for not putting his signature on a land mine ban.
Audrey Wells (Under The Tuscan Sun) will direct from her own screenplay.
