Film: To Kill A Mockingbird

Based on the book by Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird is the story of Atticus Finch (Gregory Peck), a lawyer in 1930s Alabama, who defends a black man, falsely accused of a serious crime. In standing up for what he knows is right, Atticus strives to teach his children, and his hometown, that the only true crime being committed is prejudice.

To Kill a Mockingbird was well-received by critics and audiences alike, earning 10 times its budget at the box office. The film was nominated for eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor (Gregory Peck). Ranked 25th on AFI’s Greatest Films of All Time, this breakthrough drama is considered by many to be one of the best movies ever made.
