Apple TV+ has unveiled the first trailer for its new film, "Being Heumann." The movie is directed by Siân Heder, who previously directed "CODA," which earned Apple TV+ the Best Picture Oscar in 2022. This release positions "Being Heumann" as a potential contender for awards.
"Being Heumann" is based on true events from 1977, depicting a young disabled woman and a coalition of activists who occupy a federal building to demand action. The film portrays this as the longest occupation of a federal building in American history, focusing on the movement's leaders as they navigate their path.
The cast includes Ruth Madeley as the young disabled woman and Mark Ruffalo as a bureaucrat. The film aims to tell a story of rebellion and change.
The film is scheduled for a limited theatrical release one week before its streaming debut. "Being Heumann" will be available to stream on Apple TV+ starting November 13. Apple TV+ is available for $14.99 per month or through the Apple One bundle.
In addition to "Being Heumann," Apple TV+ has other original films slated for release, including Ryan Reynolds' "Mayday" and John Cena's "Matchbox the Movie." The service has also recently expanded its library with classic movies.
