The story of Abraham Lincoln that has NEVER been told!

DramaHistory

In this dramatized account of his early law career in Illinois, Abraham Lincoln is born into a modest log cabin, where he is encouraged by his first love, Ann Rutledge, to pursue law. Following her tragic death, Lincoln establishes a law practice in Springfield, where he meets a young Mary Todd. Lincoln's law skills are put to the test when he takes on the difficult task of defending two brothers who have been accused of murder.

VIBE

A quiet, earnest look at a young man's rise. It feels like stepping back in time, contemplating ambition, love, and the weight of the law in a simpler, yet still challenging, era.
