Synopsis
Beginning in the middle of the 1920s and proceeding into the late 1930s, this is the story of Prince Albert "Bertie" and his rise to the throne as King of England, where he would become more famously known as King George VI. We meet the future monarch with his father still in power, as he is struggling to overcome a stammer that is preventing him from confidently addressing crowds at public events and effecting his wider life. His wife, Elizabeth, convinces him to see an Australian-born speech defects therapist named Lionel Logue who begins to help Bertie in his own unique way - however, with the death of his father and abdication of his brother forging the path for Bertie to ascend the throne, along with rumblings of war and the rising popularity of radio broadcasts, the need for Bertie to overcome his stammer becomes more important than ever. A warm, entertainingly-told, true story about breaking down the barriers between each other and the best versions of ourselves.
