- Human Freedom: the need to secure it, the obligation to preserve it, the necessity to defend it and the resolution to die for it.
- This is the story of brave men with the burning desire of freedom who choose to fight against totalitarianism in the British colony of Jamaica during the Second Maroon War in 1795. Julius Soubise, a household slave and a swordsman at Devon House in Trelawny, Jamaica, is called into adventure when his friend, Leonard Parkinson - the leader of the Maroons - appeals to him to represent them to Colonel Craskell - the governor of Jamaica. At first Soubise refuses, but eventually he is persuaded to champion the Maroon cause to Craskell. When his attempts are dismissed, he joins forces with Leonard to counter Craskell's campaign to annihilate the Maroons in one strike. Attitudes towards plantation slavery is what our film is all about. This is a dramatisation of Julius Soubise's growth as a man and a leader of freedom fighters.
