1Apple's Oscar achievement

Apple made history in 2022 when CODA won the Best Picture Oscar, making Apple TV+ the first streaming service to claim the top film prize. Now the same director's new project is again with Apple.

2Being Heumann's plot

The film tells the true story of disability rights activist Judy Heumann. It follows her 1977 protest with over 100 activists to demonstrate that the system was broken, not them.

3Release dates

Being Heumann hits select theaters on November 6 and streams on Apple TV+ starting November 13. The film is directed by Sian Heder, who also directed CODA.

4Oscar expectations

Apple's new film, along with Tenzing, is expected to contend at next year's Academy Awards. The company is expanding its catalog with both critically acclaimed and commercially appealing projects.

5Apple's film strategy

Following CODA's success, Apple continues investing in prestige projects while also growing its platform with mass-appeal content like the comedy The Dink.

6Subscription options

Apple TV+ is available for $12.99/month or at a discount through the Apple One bundle. The platform is strengthening its position in the streaming market with original content.
