Win the Rebecca Hall true-life drama Christine on DVD
Rebecca Hall excels in the tragic true story of Christine Chubbuck in Christine, which is available on digital download, Blu-ray and DVD. A meticulous portrayal of a woman on the edge, Christine is played by Hall in a film that sheds light on one woman’s mental health struggle that in 1974 led to her shocking the world by taking her own life – live on TV.

An aspiring newswoman with an eye for nuance and interest in social justice, her boss constantly pushes for juicier stories that will drive ratings higher. Plagued by self-doubt and a tumultuous home life, when an on-air co-worker initiates a friendship that ultimately becomes yet another unrequited love, her story takes a dark turn.
With an extraordinary supporting cast, including Michael C Hall, Tracy Letts, Maria Dizzia and J Smith-Cameron, this is a highly-acclaimed, moving film.
