To find her son, she did what no one else dared...
Inspired by actual events that occurred in 1920s-era Los Angeles,
Clint Eastwood's The Changeling tells the story of a woman driven to
confront a corrupted LAPD after her abducted son is retrieved and she
begins to suspect that the boy returned to her is not the same boy she
gave birth to. The year was 1928, and the setting a working-class
suburb of Los Angeles. As Christine (Angelina Jolie) said goodbye to
her son, Walter, and departed for work, she never anticipated that
this was the day her life would be forever changed.
