01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
In January 1865, President of the United States Abraham Lincoln is hoping the American Civil War will end soon, with the defeat of the Confederate States of America. With a nation divided by war, politics, and ideology, Lincoln pursues a course of action designed to end the war, but also to pass the 13th Amendment which will permanently abolish slavery and unite a nation.
