halle berry as vanita gupta?

Halle Berry is going to star in the movie Tulia, about a lawyer investigating an infamous Texas drug bust. The story centers on the 1999 arrests of 46 black men in the impoverished town of Tulia, Texas—a sting effort where no money, drugs or illegal weapons were found on any of the suspects: Director Franklin stung by "Tulia". Yay, but so what? The woman Berry will portray is real-life lawyer Vanita Gupta, lead attorney for the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, which intervened to free the wrongly convicted citizens. Interesting, so is Berry really going to play Gupta? Or will change the ethnicity of the character?
