Juliet Stevenson to star in Nazi legacy drama 'Let Me Go'
Jodhi May and Lucy Boynton will also feature in the project, which is based on the true-life story of author Helga Schneider.
Juliet Stevenson (Bend It Like Beckham, Departure) will lead the cast of Let Me Go, which is based on the memoir of author Helga Schneider.
The film recounts how Schneider, who was born in Germany in 1937, was rejected by her mother during the Second World War and sent to live with distant relatives.
Meanwhile, her mother joined the SS and later worked as a guard at the Auschwitz concentration camp.
After being distanced for some 60 years, Schneider returned to face her mother in 2000, finding that she remained unrepentent about her Nazi past.
The film has a script from Polly Steele (Lena: The Bride of Ice), who will direct, and will also star Jodhi May (The Last of the Mohicans) and Lucy Boynton (Miss Potter).
Producers are David Broder and Lizzie Pickering.
