User:Chimeric Glider/Tulia (film)

Tulia is an upcoming American drama film in pre-production status, directed by John Singleton and starring Halle Berry and Billy Bob Thornton, both of whom also played major characters in Monster's Ball. It is a dramatization of the notorious 1999 drug raids in Tulia, Texas that led to the arrest of 46 people, predominantly African-Americans. The arrests were only based on the testimony of one policeman named Tom Coleman, and stirred up a heated controversy on its racial injustice.

Production
The budget is estimated to be about 20 million. In September, 2007, when Halle Berry announced her pregnancy, it was reported that the production of the film was postponed for this reason. She gave birth to the infant girl in March, 2008.
