From Roger Michell, the acclaimed director of Notting Hill, comes Hyde Park of Hudson, a charming and fresh look at one of the most pivotal meetings in history.

Roosevelt (Murray) and his neighbor and intimate Margaret Suckley (Linney). In 1939, as Great Britain faces the imminent war with Germany, FDR invites the King and Queen of England for a June weekend at his Upstate NY home. During this first-ever visit of a reigning British monarch to America, international affairs must be juggled with the complexities of FDR's domestic establishment.
