On Sunday, September 6 and Sunday, September 13 at 20:00 CAT, drama
fans will be in for a real treat when Lifetime (DStv channel 131) will be
showing the acclaimed made-for-TV movie Bonnie & Clyde.
Starring Emile Hirsch (Into the Wild) and Holliday Grainger (The
Borgias) in the title roles of Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker, the four-hour,
two-night major event tells the story of the Depression-era outlaw couple whose
criminal exploits have assured them lasting fame for eight decades.
Bonnie & Clyde follows Barrow, Parker and the notorious Barrow
Gang as they sweep through the Central and Southern United States committing
small-time robberies and daring bank heists, leaving murdered police officers
and civilians in their wake. Rumoured to have a sixth-sense to see events
before they happened, Barrow was always able to stay one step ahead of the law
as they escaped capture time and again. His one blind spot was Parker, who was
intent on becoming famous and fed on the alluring media attention, pushing
Barrow to commit riskier and more dangerous crimes to generate bigger headlines
and make them the most famous criminals of the modern era.
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Bruce Beresford (Breaker Morant,
Driving Miss Daisy), the star-studded cast also includes Academy Award-winners
Holly Hunter (The Piano) and William Hurt (Kiss of the Spiderwoman)
