The film tells the story of Christine Chubbuck (Rebecca Hall), a Sarasota television news reporter relentlessly pushing for a promotion at her male-dominated network. With her boss Michael (Tracy Letts) demanding she chase more exciting stories in a bid to boost ratings, Christine begins to feel the pressure as her determination to provide meaningful social justice reports coupled with her lack of on-screen personality begin to damage her chances of achieving her goals. After then turning down the advances of her co-worker and long-term love interest George (Michael C. Hall), Christine's world begins to unravel as feelings of loneliness and depression begin to push her over the edge. (Universal Pictures UK)
