And One More Toronto Flick Gets Bought …
National Geographic Entertainment is going back to school, snagging U.S. rights to Toronto Film Festival winner “The First Grader.” Directed by Justin Chadwick from a script by Ann Peacock, the critically acclaimed feature is based on the true story of an 84-year-old Kenyan man’s battle to get an education. “First Grader,” which first played at the Telluride Film Festival, stars Oliver Musila Litondo and Naomie Harris. Producers are David M. Thompson, Sam Feuer and Richard Harding.
