Lee Daniels' The Butler
THE BUTLER (Forest Whitaker) tells the story of a White House butler who served eight American presidents over three decades. The film traces the dramatic changes that swept American society during this time, from the civil rights movement to Vietnam and beyond, and how those changes affected this man's life and family.
Featuring an all-star cast including Oprah Winfrey, Robin Williams, John Cusack, Alan Rickman, Terrence Howard, Vanessa Redgrave, and many more, THE BUTLER is directed by Lee Daniels (Precious).
“Lee Daniels quietly pushes his talent for hashing out visceral, violent emotions into unexpected dramatic terrain.”
