Churchill Defiant

Winston Churchill rages against time and his own mortality, in conflict with friend and foe alike, in this tumultuous political drama about his last ten years of public life. "Churchill Defiant" is a gripping, fast-paced narrative of bare-knuckle politics, of life-and-death decisions, of old grudges and fresh blame. This is Churchill in close-up--a vivid, deeply poignant portrait of the great man at his most maddening and devious, but also at his most human and defiant.
