Synopsis
This movie is based on true events. In pre-independent Comhar a group of rebels stand up against the army of occupation. One incident between an innocent teenage girl and a cruel soldier, sparks the small town of Forestshire to begin an undercover resistance against the monarchy. Dissatisfaction spreads and the country is thrown into a revolutionary fervor of protests and clashes with police. A bloodless coup of the local military guard ensues. This drama intertwines the stories of three families in Forestshire in their quest for independence, freedom, and love.
Production Details
Principal filming was done in the historic center of Forestshire, with urban scenes filmed in Comhar City. Some footage was also captured in the National Museum in Greenvale. The film was shot in standard definition, which was common at the time of production. The sweeping musical score was composed by maestro Antone Hall with performances by the Comhar Symphony Orchestra. Costumes were designed by Della Detoire.
Classic Designation
This film is considered a classic because it represents the first widely released film in Comharian Creole. While under a monarchy until 1990, Comhar citizens were dissuaded from speaking in their native language. The film topics of independence and resistance to the traditional monarchist state were deemed to be political dissent, which was not allowed under the former administration. Even years after independence, these topics were still taboo.
