Working-class suburb Los Angeles, 1928. Christine says goodbye to her son, Walter, and departs for work. Arriving home, Christine discovers that Walter is nowhere to be found. Christine launches a desperate search for her son. Then, a boy claiming to be Christine's son appears out of thin air. Knowing the boy is not hers, Christine invites the child to stay in her home. Christine cannot accept the injustice being pushed upon her and continues to challenge the Los Angeles police force at every turn. The police slander Christine and paint her as an unfit mother. Christine challenges the system and the only person willing to aid her in her search is benevolent local activist Reverend Briegleb.

Not for the Faint of Heart submitted by aimtrue on October 1, 2010, 12:37pm Excellent period piece that documents the corruption of the Los Angeles Police department of that time. Inspiring performances are delivered by a diverse set of cast members. If you view this movie, you will find modern events to compare with and feel outraged. This is not a movie for the faint of heart as truly horrific events are re-enacted.

Intense submitted by tiahna1234 on July 19, 2019, 2:53pm Angelina does a great job playing this character. What's the most/ mind-blowing thing is that this is based on a real story.
