Independent Cinema for Everyone

Campos' acclaimed drama tells the true story of a Florida news reporter who, in 1974, shocked the world by taking her own life live on air. Christine, always the smartest person in the room at a small-town news station, is relentless in her pursuit of an on-air position. As an aspiring newswoman with an eye for social justice, she finds herself constantly butting heads with her boss, who wants to drive up ratings. Plagued by self-doubt and a tumultuous home life, Christine's diminishing hope begins to rise when on-air co-worker initiates a friendship which ultimately becomes yet another unrequited love. Disillusioned as her world continues to close in on her, Christine takes a dark turn.
