Gugu Embata-Ro will go to the Crimean War

Image Producer Billy Peterson ("My Ping Pong Summer") has created his own company Racing Green Pictures and is preparing his first project under its banner - the biographical drama Seacole. He invited Gugu Embatu-Ro ("Belle") and Sam Worthington ("Avatar") for the main roles. Filming will take place in the next couple of months in Romania, Malta and London. Peterson hopes to release a biopic by the 2020 festival season.

Mary Sicol was a nurse from Jamaica who used her knowledge in tropical medicine to treat wounded soldiers during the Crimean War in the 1850s. When a public figure of Great Britain and no less famous nurse Florence Nightingel did not include Mary in a group of 38 sisters of mercy sent to different areas of hostilities, she borrowed money and independently covered the path of 6.5 thousand kilometers to achieve her goal. Thanks to his perseverance and dedication, Sicol is today considered one of the main fighters against racial prejudice in the mid-19th century.

"Mary Sicol was an extraordinary woman," Peterson commented on his choice of theme for the first tape. -I am proud to be able to convey her story to a modern audience. I hope viewers will be inspired by the kindness and tenacity of this incredible person. ”. Billy also noted that Racing Green Pictures plans to continue producing films with powerful social messages.
