The film will tell the story of Sendler as a Polish nurse and social worker who helped care for and save 2,500 Jewish children from the Warsaw Ghetto. Sendler helped provide the children with false papers, smuggle them out of the ghetto and place them in the care of Christian families, orphanages and religious institutions run by nuns, before she was eventually arrested and tortured by the Gestapo. Yad Vashem recognized Sendler as Righteous Among the Nations in 1965.
Gadot and Varsano will produce the movie along with with Marc Platt.
Gadot has several previously announced film projects that Pilot Wave will be part of with her and Varsano producing, according to Deadline.
