TRAVEL back to Queen Victoria's reign with new film Victoria and Abdul, which tells the extraordinary true story of an unexpected friendship in the later years of Queen Victoria's remarkable rule.
When young clerk Abdul Karim (Ali Fazal) travels from India to participate in the Queen's Golden Jubilee, he is surprised to find favour with Queen Victoria (Academy Award winner Judi Dench) herself.
As the queen questions the constrictions of her long-held position, the two forge an unlikely and devoted alliance with a loyalty to one another that her household and inner circle all attempt to destroy.
As the friendship deepens, the queen begins to see a changing world through new eyes and joyfully reclaims her humanity.
A stellar cast of Adeel Akhtar, Simon Callow, Michael Gambon, Eddie Izzard, Ruth McCabe, Tim Pigott-Smith, Julian Wadham, Olivia Williams and Fenella Woolgar join Dench and Fazal in this remarkable new drama from acclaimed director Stephen Frears.
