Rapper Queen Latifah will star in and executive produce a film about the Michigan water- contamination crisis.

Betsy Brandt, Jill Scott and Marin Ireland will also join the cast as activists who fight to bring clean water to Flint, reported New York Daily News.

The movie titled "Flint" is based on Josh Sanburn's February 2016 Time Magazine article "The Toxic Tap."

Cher was originally announced to star in the movie, but pulled out after her mother got sick.

"Flint" will begin production next week.
