Notes
Description
A collection of six films based on true events in one "binge box" for a fabulous movie experience.
Description
Chappaquiddick: "Based on historical events, this suspenseful thriller examines the infamous 1969 death of Mary Jo Kopechne, who drowned after Senator Ted Kennedy drove off a bridge on Chappaquiddiick Island, and the moral and legal complexities that play out over the following week."
Description
Hidden figures: "...tells the incredible untold story of Katherine Johnson (Taraji P. Henson), Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monae)--brilliant African-American women working at NASA who served as the brains behind the launch into orbit of astronaut John Glenn, a stunning achievement that turned around the Space Race. The visionary trio crossed all gender and racial lines and inspired generations."
Description
Imitation game: "Famously leading a motley group of scholars, linguists, chess champions and intelligence officers, Alan Turing was credited with cracking the so-called unbreakable codes of Germany's World War II Enigma machine. An intense and haunting portrayal of a brilliant and complicated man, The Imitation Game follows a genius who under nail-biting pressure helped to shorten the war and, in turn, save millions of lives."
Description
The King's speech: "When England's throne is suddenly thrust upon him, amidst royal family scandal and impending world war, King George VI must overcome a lifelong debilitating speech impediment to lead his nation. After his iron-willed compassionate wife Elizabeth secretly enlists an eccentric speech therapist, the two men forge an unlikely friendship that will ultimately empower the monarch to find his voice, inspire his people and rally the world."
Description
Spotlight: "Michael Keaton, Mark Ruffalo, and Rachel McAdams lead a critically acclaimed cast in this gripping true story about the Pulitzer Prize-winning investigation that uncovered a scandal that rocked one of the world's oldest and most trusted institutions. Delving into allegations of child abuse within the local Catholic Archdiocese, a tenacious team of Boston Globe reporters exposes a decades-long cover-up that reaches the highest levels of Boston's religious, legal and government establishment."
Description
The Wolf of Wall Street: "Sex. Money. Power. Drugs. Brace yourself for an outrageous true story from legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese that critics are calling a 'masterpiece for a new generation'. Leonardo DiCaprio is a young stockbroker hungry for fame and glory in New York City, where corruption is king and more is never enough. Together, Scorsese and DiCaprio deliver a story of American excess that is "an absolute delight from start to finish.'"
