Of Mice and Men

Synopsis

Set against the harsh backdrop of the Great Depression, Of Mice and Men is the story of George and Lennie, two friends with a simple dream: to own a farm and live off the fat of the land.

But a tragic turn of events threatens to destroy George and Lennie's friendship and leaves George faced with an impossible choice...
