Hillary Clinton and Chelsea Clinton to adapt bestselling book The Daughters of Kobani as a TV series

Deadline

The mother and daughter's new production company won a "competitive" bidding war for the rights to Gayle Tzemach Lemmon’s bestselling book, The Daughters of Kobani: A Story of Rebellion, Courage, and Justice, which tells the true story of an all-women Kurdish militia who took on ISIS in Northern Syria – and won. “The Daughters of Kobani is an extraordinary account of brave, defiant women fighting for justice and equality,” said Hillary Clinton in a statement. “We created HiddenLight to celebrate heroes — sung and unsung alike — whose courage is too often overlooked, and we could not be more thrilled to bring this inspiring story to viewers around the world.”
