2-3-2017 - Amazon won a multi-studio bidding battle and has paid mid-six figures. Dakota Johnson interested, not closed. The writer is a former litigation attorney turned screenwriter who sold her spec UNDONE to Parkes/MacDonald last year.
In the not-so-distant past, America was gripped by a political movement that promised to eliminate the “unfit” from our country. This is the shocking true story of Carrie Buck, a young Virginia woman who became a lightning rod for that movement, and was forced to single-handedly fight against it for the one thing she desperately wanted – to be a mother.
