What it is about
The film follows disability-rights activist Judy Heumann and a coalition of protesters during the 1977 occupation of federal offices. Ruth Madeley plays Heumann, with Mark Ruffalo, Madeline Delp and Dylan O’Brien also in the cast. Siân Heder directs the drama, which is based on real events.
Apple lists a separate select-theater opening on November 6. The theatrical date and streaming date are different: viewers planning to watch at home should use November 13. Apple rates the film R, so check the content rating before choosing it for a family movie night.
How to watch at home
- Open Apple TV on a supported television, streaming device, phone, tablet or web browser.
- Sign in with the Apple Account that has the subscription or eligible bundle.
- Search for the full title and check the availability shown for your country.
- On the release date, open the title page and choose the available playback option.
Before starting a new subscription, check the current price, trial eligibility, billing method and renewal date on the checkout screen. Offers can depend on the account and region. A previous trial or a subscription billed through another provider may affect the options shown.
Watching alongside DIRECTV
This is an Apple streaming release, so a DIRECTV channel number is not the viewing route. Check whether you already pay for Apple TV separately or through an eligible bundle before subscribing again. Use the Apple TV app on a compatible device; availability of an app on a television does not establish that your current TV package includes its paid content.
Apple’s official announcement supplies the release information above. Check the title listing near release for any availability changes. If playback fails, confirm the signed-in account, subscription status and internet connection before purchasing another subscription.
