Summary

George VI, known as "the reluctant King," inherited the throne only because his brother Edward VIII abdicated. Shy and suffering from a distressing stutter, King George VI faced the terrifying prospect of public speaking engagements and radio broadcasts to millions of people. This documentary reveals George VI's lengthy efforts to overcome his disability with the help of unorthodox Australian speech therapist, Lionel Logue, and tells the true story behind the Oscar-winning film "The king's speech."
