Dolphin Entertainment has acquired the rights to the biography book titled "The Woman Who Saved the Children". The book is authored by Clare Mulley.
Here is a statement from Dolphin Entertainment's Founder and CEO O'Dowd about the project:
“With The Woman Who Saved the Children, we’re showcasing a story of extraordinary vision and resilience that is both globally relevant and emotionally powerful. As our development expands to include our return to scripted content, The Woman Who Saved the Children reflects our commitment to developing films that not only captivate audiences but also continues to reinforce Dolphin as a key player in meaningful, story-driven filmmaking within today’s entertainment landscape.”
Here is a statement from the author Clare Mulley about the project:
“Eglantyne was a true revolutionary, breaking all the rules, defying convention and transgressing the law in her determination to save the lives and improve the life-changes of every child, everywhere. Witty and wayward, she burned fast through life, dying all too young, but her enduring legacy remains as relevant and urgent as ever.”
Here is the goodreads synopsis of The Woman Who Saved the Children by Clare Mulley:
2009 marks the 90th anniversary of Save the Children, a charity that fights to uphold the human rights of children wherever they are threatened. Now promoted by the likes of Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and Julianne Moore the charity’s original founder was a childless spinster in a brown cardigan whose most famous line, ‘I don’t care for children’ makes hers a most unconventional story. At once a romantic and realist, Eglantyne’s short life (she died aged just 52) was full of humour and tragedy, passion and pain. She moved from illicit romance in Cambridge to espionage in Serbia, from private spiritualism in Shropshire to public arrest in Trafalgar Square. And while children’s universal human rights are yet to be realised, Eglantyne’s achievement of putting them on the world agenda is a powerful testament to her rare combination of personal courage, eccentric charisma, and humane vision. Clare Mulley joined Save the Children as a corporate fundraiser in the 1990s. She is the mother of three daughters and currently lives in Essex, UK.
