The Lost King

Oscar-nominated director, Stephen Frears, delivers the true story of Philippa Langley who defied a stodgy academic establishment in her efforts to find the remains of King Richard III. Sally Hawkins plays Philippa, a writer suffering through a midlife crisis brought on by a divorce and health challenges, takes on Richard’s cause after happening upon the Richard III society. This group of amateur historians, bent on rehabilitating the reputation of the fallen monarch, ignites an obsession in Langley to locate King Richard III’s final resting place. In mending history’s fractured perception of Richard III, Philippa also mends herself.
