Actress Jodie Foster is stepping behind the camera again to direct Universal Pictures' social drama "Sugar Kings", according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The movie is based on an article in Vanity Fair titled "In the Kingdom of Big Sugar" by Marie Brenner. It tells the story of a novice attorney who partners with an experienced public-interest lawyer to defend exploited migrant workers from the overbearing manipulations of a powerful sugar baron.

The Oscar-winning actress has previously directed two movies: "Home For The Holidays" and "Little Man Tate".
