05 Feb 10

The team behind the oscar-winning Channel 4 film The Last King of Scotland is being brought together again for a new drama about people-trafficking.

Writer Jeremy Brock and producer Andrea Calderwood will be working together for the first time since The Last King of Scotland on the untitled project, which will be directed by Gabriel Range.

The film is being made by Slate Films/Potboiler Productions and the Borough Picture Company and will be premiered on Channel 4 this year.

Camilla Campbell, Channel 4 head of drama, said: "This project continues C4's established reputation for tackling difficult subject matter that sets the agenda. With the writer and producer of the Oscar winning Last King of Scotland, as well as the director of Death of a President, this will be an outstanding piece of film-making which will raise challenging and difficult questions."
