'The Butler' is set against the tumultuous political backdrop of 20th century America. Academy Award nominated director Lee Daniels' epic drama tells the story of White House butler Cecil Gaines (Forest Whitaker), who serves during seven presidential administrations between 1957 and 1986.

The film is inspired by Wil Haygood's 2008 Washington Post article "A Butler Well Served by This Election" which chronicled the real life of former White House butler Eugene Allen.
Through the eyes and emotions of the Gaines family, Daniels' film follows the changing tides of American politics and race relations; from the assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, to the Freedom Riders and Black Panther movements, to the war in Vietnam and the Watergate scandal, Cecil experiences the effects of these events as both an insider and a family man.

"Mr. Bates vs. the Post Office" so outraged a nation that within days of airing, it forced the Prime Minister to change the law to right the damage done.

The series tells the extraordinary story of the greatest miscarriage of justice in British legal history, created with direct input from the innocent - and indomitable - people caught up in it. When money started to disappear from its local branches, the Post Office wrongly blamed their own sub-postmasters for its loss. For more than a decade, hundreds were accused of theft and fraud, and hundreds were sent to prison. Lives, marriages, and reputations were left in ruins. But the issue was actually caused by errors in the Post Office's own computer system - something it denied for years. Revealing a shocking David vs. Goliath fight for justice, this is the story of the decent ordinary people who were relentlessly pursued, intimidated and punished by a powerful corporation; and their ongoing battle, against seemingly insurmountable odds, to right so many horrific wrongs.
