About the movie LINCOLN:
“If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong.”
—Abraham Lincoln, in a letter dated December 1865
In the final four months of Abraham Lincoln’s life and presidency, the full measure of the man—his passion and his humanity—came to bear on his defining battle: to plot a forward path for a shattered nation, against overwhelming odds and extreme public and personal pressure. Steven Spielberg’s LINCOLN provides an intimate immersion into the American leader’s most perilous and revealing moments, at a time when the dark shadow of slavery lifts and a country torn by war must be made whole.
Nominated for 12 Academy Awards including Best Picture and best Actor and with an all star cast including Daniel day-Lewis, sally Field and Tommy Lee Jones, LINCOLN is the untold story of a moment that changed the course of history.
Competition opens 00:01hrs on 27/01/13 and closes 23:59hrs on 10/02/13 (AEDT). 1 major prize winner and 10 runner-up prize winners draw 11/02/13.
