Residents of fishing town Manchester-by-the-Sea have been treated to a special gift by Amazon, and will receive free access to the company’s video streaming and delivery service for a year.

To celebrate the arrival of the Oscar-winning drama on Amazon, the entire town that not only lent its name but also served as the backdrop for Kenneth Lonergan’s emotionally-charged film will be able to watch the movie for free.
