The Ghosts of Dickens' Past

In this lesser-known biographical drama, the young Charles Dickens is set on a path of material success, but a mysterious encounter with a little girl sets him on a transformative journey that would alter the course of his life and literary legacy. As he's shown glimpses of the future if he remains on his current trajectory, Dickens is instead confronted with a more profound purpose for his writing: using his voice to speak out for those who need his help. This haunting and thought-provoking film weaves together drama and biography to explore the making of one of literature's most beloved classics, A Christmas Carol.
