Melody Roscher tells us all about building up such a challenging film and how difficult was raising the money for an uncomfortable film on a real woman who so little was known of. Rebecca Hall was the blessing they were waiting for as she brought the film to the highest possible level, with an outstanding performance.
Christine. The early 1970s. Christine Chubbuck is a young journalist, awkward and introverted. She works for a local broadcaster in Florida and despite her desire to grow professionally, she is in conflict with the TV director, who wants news items which grab the spectators’ attention, to the detriment of the quality of the news. Deeply hurt, already unstable and insecure because of her inability to make friends with the others, Christine falls into a state of neurosis which leads her to commit a shocking act on live TV. Based on a true story.
