The dedication "For Ian" before the new Netflix movie Shirley is intended for someone who does not appear in the film. The historical biopic stars an outstanding ensemble cast led by Regina King and also features great performances from Lucas Hedges, Terrence Howard, Lance Reddick, and Regina's real-life sister Reina King. Shirley follows the true story of Shirley Chisholm, who became the first black American woman to run for President of the United States just one year after becoming the first black woman elected to Congress. Chisholm's true story marks a landmark trailblazing effort in American politics that is documented and celebrated in Ridley's exceptional film. Regina King gives a transformative performance as the titular character, showcasing her fierce resolve and unyielding commitment to make history and to never give up.
