What happens

Little Pink House is a 2017 American biographical drama film written and directed by Courtney Balaker in her feature directorial debut, based on the book Little Pink House: A True Story of Defiance and Courage by Jeff Benedict, which chronicled the case of Kelo v. City of New London. Starring Catherine Keener and Jeanne Tripplehorn, the film follows Susette Kelo (Keener), a paramedic from New London, Connecticut, who sues the town for attempting to transfer ownership of her property to a corporation through eminent domain. Although the film is set in New London, Connecticut, Principal photography began in Vancouver on September 14, 2015, and concluded on October 15. Little Pink House premiered at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival on February 3, 2017, where Balaker won the Panavision Spirit Award for Independent Cinema. The film was theatrically released in the United States on April 20, 2018, to positive reviews from critics. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
