87 What the Constitution Means to Me

Movie debuts October 16 on Prime Video. Marielle Heller (A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood) directs a filmed (in 2019) version of Heidi Schreck's recent Tony- and Pulitzer-nominated autobiographical play, which finds Schreck performing the same speeches about the Constitution she gave as a teenager at American Legion halls while also commenting on the experience and her family history from her present-day perspective.
