Join us for a virtual film discussion on The Queen, starring Helen Mirren. Dive into royal politics, public grief, and Mirren’s Oscar-winning performance.
Winner of the Academy Award® for Best Actress, Dame Helen Mirren gives a spellbinding performance in The Queen, the provocative story behind the sudden death of Princess Diana. In the wake of tragedy, the very private and tradition-bound Queen Elizabeth II (Mirren) finds herself in conflict with the new Prime Minister, the slickly modern and image-conscious Tony Blair (Michael Sheen). Suspenseful, heartfelt, and riveting, step inside the private chambers of the Royal Family and the British government for a captivating look at a vulnerable woman in her darkest hour. (Kanopy)
