About The Eastmans
Within a family of doctors, the parents and the adult children find themselves successful professionally but dysfunctional personally. When the patriarch ends up on the brink of death, however, they rally to bring him back from the edge. Then they wield their collective power to extract some changes from him.
Directed by Jason Ensler, The Eastmans leans on a strong ensemble — Donald Sutherland, Jacqueline Bisset, Jason Lewis — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about tv movie titles of 2009.
