ANGELIKA’S NOTE

"Did Sen. Ted Kennedy (an electrifying Jason Clarke) leave a female passenger to drown when his car plunged off a bridge in 1969? Instead of scandal, this questing film examines the broken moral compass of a driven politician," (Rolling Stone). A Toronto International Film Festival Official Selection, John Curran's CHAPPAQUIDDICK stars Jason Clarke (ZERO DARK THIRTY), Kate Mara (FANTASTIC FOUR), Ed Helms (TOGETHER TOGETHER) and Oscar nominee Bruce Dern (NEBRASKA) in this depiction of Ted Kennedy's involvement in the fatal 1969 car accident that claims the life of a young campaign strategist, Mary Jo Kopechne.

SYNOPSIS

On July 18, 1969, Sen. Ted Kennedy drives his car off of a bridge on Massachusetts’ Chappaquiddick Island. The accident results in the death of passenger Mary Jo Kopechne, a 28-year-old campaign strategist who worked for Kennedy. The ongoing investigation into the mysterious and scandalous events forever alters his political legacy – and ultimately changes the course of presidential history.
