Elisabeth Moss (“The Invisible Man,” “Mad Men”) has signed on to play former Congresswoman Katie Hill in the feature “She Will Rise” from Blumhouse TV, Maniac Productions and Love & Squalor Pictures.
Based on Hill’s forthcoming book, the story recounts her experience as a young woman with no prior political experience whose charm and common sense won over the people in her district and thrust her into the halls of power in Washington.
While her brash confidence won her powerful allies and infuriated her enemies, it was privately concealing a cycle of domestic abuse she was trapped in at home, infamously culminating in the release of intimate photos and the revelation of her own personal mistakes that would eventually result in her fall from grace.
Moss, Lindsey McManus and Michael Seitzman will produce with Seitzman (“North Country”) adapted the script. Hill herself is on board as executive producer.
