The title of the film dedicated to the six Bulgarian medics who spent eight years in Libyan prison has already been announced.
The film will be called The Benghazi Six, avtora.com reported.
Bulgaria’s medics were accused of deliberately infecting more than 400 Libyan children with HIV. They were twice sentenced to death, but the verdict was ultimately commutated to life imprisonment and the six were transferred to Bulgaria under a Bulgarian-Libyan judicial contract. Bulgarian President Georgi Pruvanov pardoned them immediately after their arrival home.
The main crew to shoot the movie is still unknown, avtora.com said.
Sixth Sense, one of the largest companies in Hollywood, will produce the film. The company is the producer of the Oscar-nominated Hotel Rwanda.
The film will tell the story of the innocent medics, while also focusing on the infected children.
Sixth Sense president Sam Feuer told Reuters that the world needed to know about the fate of the medics. It was not only a Bulgarian story, it was a human story through which the world could be made wiser, he said.
Sixth Sense is in negotiations with The Chronicles of Narnia script writer Ann Peacock to write the scenario.
