"Jeroen Krabbe and Barbara Hershey are starring in Schweitzer, British director Gavin Millar's biopic of Nobel Peace Prize-winning physician, philosopher and theologian Albert Schweitzer.
Produced by Alexander Thies' Berlin-based NFP, pic is set in 1949, early in the Cold War. German-born Schweitzer, already one of the most admired men in the world due to his humanitarian work, arrives in the U.S. to raise funds for his clinic in west central Africa (now Gabon) and finds himself caught in the battle lines of world politics. Krabbe portrays Schweitzer, with Hershey as his wife and assistant Helene. Pic also stars Judith Godreche, Samuel West, Jeanette Hain, Jonathan Firth and Armin Rohde (as Albert Einstein).
Schweitzer, which began principal photography in Cape Town and Port St. John, South Africa, last week, shoots through August..."
