In Flint, Cher will play a woman affected by the contamination in the city's water. Katie Couric is producing the upcoming TV movie alongside Cher.
This announcement comes after two of Flint's former emergency managers and two water plant officials were charged with false pretenses and conspiracy. The accusations against the four officials include the purported misuse of millions in bonds to finance construction of a new pipeline and make the Flint River the source of drinking water for the city. There have been 13 charges handed out since the water crisis began.

In October, Cher had a sit-down with ET's Kevin Frazier, where she explained why she keeps working at an age when most people are settling down for retirement.
"Because I like what I do," she said simply. "I never knew there was going to be a sell-by date."
