The film has been described as a 'searing and intimate portrait of one of the most important and tragic moments in American history, seen through the eyes of the iconic First Lady, then Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. 

'The film places us in her world during the days immediately following her husband's assassination.

'Known for her extra ordinary dignity and poise, here we see a psychological portrait of the First Lady as she struggles to maintain her husband's legacy and the world of "Camelot" that they created and loved so well.'

The Academy Awards airs Sunday, February 26, 2017.
