Schweitzer in the Spotlight

There's an Albert Schweitzer biopic on the way:

Variety reports that Jeroen Krabbe (Immortal Beloved) and Barbara Hershey have signed on to star in British director Gavin Millar's film, joining the ranks of Judith Godreche, Samuel West, Jeanette Hain, Jonathan Firth (Colin's brother), and Armin Rohde. Set in 1949, the biopic focuses on the early days of the Cold War when Schweitzer travels to the United States to raise money for his clinic in west central Africa.
