Produced by Terrence Malick and filmed in glorious black and white cinematography, the Better Angels sheds new light on the little-explored formative years of President Abraham Lincoln as well as the women who shaped him into one of most revered men in US history. Based on interviews with Lincoln's family members, the Better Angels is a beautiful, insightful, and brilliantly composed feature debut from Malick's creative protégé, A.J. Edwards.
