Changeling: all about the new movie, plus clips and interviews

Changeling - Angelina Jolie

The legendary Clint Eastwood directs Angelina Jolie and John Malkovich in Changeling, an emotional and provocative drama based on actual events from 1928 which forever transformed the city of Los Angeles

Changeling tells the story of a woman whose invincible spirit and refusal to surrender brought down a corrupt police department and ushered in a new era of dignity and equality under the law.

Back to Los Angeles, March 1928, and on a beautiful Saturday morning in a working-class suburb, single mother Christine Collins (Jolie) says goodbye to her nine-year-old son, Walter, and leaves for her job as a telephone operator. But when Christine returns to their modest home, she is confronted with every parent's worst nightmare: her son has vanished.

An exhaustive and fruitless search ensues, but Walter has disappeared without a trace…until five months later, when a child claiming to be her boy is returned by police, who are eager to bask in the public-relations coup of reuniting mother and child.

Dazed by the swirl of cops, reporters, photographers and her own conflicted emotions, Christine is persuaded to take the boy home. But in her heart, she knows he is not Walter.

Facing corrupt police who question her sanity and a sceptical public hungry for a fairy-tale ending, Christine desperately hunts for answers. As she searches, she becomes an unlikely heroine for the poor and downtrodden who have been systematically abused and swept aside by the police state that has gripped LA.

Now, one woman's quest won't stop until she finds her son - unless those assigned to protect and serve manage to silence her for good...

Changeling is released in UK cinemas through Universal on November 26, 2008. See page 34 of the December 2008 edition of Saga Magazine for a revue of Changeling and other new film releases.
