Freeheld marks the return of Peter Sollett to the director's chair for his first feature film since the terrific Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist back in 2008. Freeheld is the third feature film of Sollett's career so far.

Freeheld is the true story of Laurel Hester (Moore) and Stacie Andree (Page) and their fight for justice. A decorated New Jersey police detective, Laurel is diagnosed with cancer and wants to leave her hard earned pension to her domestic partner, Stacie.

However, the county officials, Freeholders, conspire to prevent Laurel from doing this. Hard-nosed detective Dane Wells (Shannon), and activist Steve Goldstein (Carell), unite in Laurel and Stacie's defence, rallying police officers and ordinary citizens to support their struggle for equality.

Freeheld is released 19th February.
