Biopic of Young K.M. in the Works

Haitian filmaker Raoul Peck (worked on Lumumba) is looking to chronicle the philosopher's young life -- from 1830-1848, from age 12 to 30. This span will allow the auteur to cover notable pieces of his youth, including growing up surrounded by intellectuals, his time as a Young Hegelian, his love for Jenny von Westphalen (his aristocratic wife), meeting F.E. and the publishing of the C. Manifesto.
