Many Beautiful Things

From Executive Producer Hisao Kurosawa (Dreams, Ran) comes the untold story of one of the worlds greatest women artists and why her name nearly was lost to history. Many Beautiful Things plunges viewers into the complex age of Victorian England to meet Lilias Trotter, a daring young woman who defied all norms by winning the favor of Englands top art critic, John Ruskin. In an era when women were thought incapable of producing high art, Ruskin promised that her work could be immortal. But with her legacy on the line, Lilias made a stunning decision that bids us to question the limits of sacrifice. As Lilias journeys to French Algeria in the late 1800s to pioneer work with women and children, viewers are left to wonder, Could you abandon a dream to pursue your true calling? Featuring the voices of Michelle Dockery (Downton Abbey) and John Rhys-Davies (Lord of the Rings, Indiana Jones).
