Based on the true story of Queen Elizabeth II’s father, King George VI and his epic journey to overcome immense personal difficulties on his way to the throne, The King’s Speech explores the personal relationship that developed between a reluctant king, plagued by a nervous stammer and his unconventional Australian speech therapist, Lionel Logue.
