Lincoln

Het verhaal

De film volgt de politieke clash tussen Abraham Lincoln, de zestiende president van de Verenigde Staten, en de machtige mannen van zijn kabinet in de strijd tegen de afschaffing van de slavernij en het einde van de Amerikaanse Burgeroorlog. De focus ligt hierbij voornamelijk op de laatste maanden van Lincolns leven, waaronder ingezoomd wordt op de permanente afschaffing van de slavernij, die het gevolg was van een zeer nipte stemming in het Huis van Vertegenwoordigers over het 13e Amendement.
