| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
Clint Eastwood directs Angelina Jolie and John Malkovich in
a provocative thriller based on actual events: Changeling.
In the film, Christine Collins’ (Angelina Jolie) prayers
are met when her kidnapped son is returned. But amidst the frenzy
of the photo-op reunion, she realizes this child is not hers.
Facing corrupt police and a skeptical public, she desperately
hunts for answers, only to be confronted by a truth that will
change her forever.
Los Angeles, 1928: On a Saturday morning in a working-class
suburb, Christine said goodbye to her son, Walter, and left
for work. When she came home, she discovered he had vanished.
A fruitless search ensues, and months later, a boy claiming
to be the nine-year-old is returned. Dazed by the swirl of
cops, reporters and her conflicted emotions, Christine allows
him to stay overnight. But in her heart, she knows he is not
Walter.
As she pushes authorities to keep looking, she learns
that in Prohibition-era L.A., women don’t challenge
the system and live to tell their story. Slandered as delusional
and unfit, Christine finds an ally in activist Reverend
Briegleb (John Malkovich), who helps her fight the city to
look for her missing boy. Based on the actual incident that
rocked California’s legal system, Changeling tells the
shocking tale of a mother’s quest to find her son, and
those who won’t stop until they silence her.
