- DirectorAdam Lee HamiltonJohn MontegrandeStarsJordan DawsPaul SyrstadSaul MatlockWilliam Shakespeare's epic tale of conspiracy, loyalty and betrayal. Rome is destroyed, their world has crumbled, but life must go on. Survival drives people in a broken world, where friendships get brutally ripped apart. Caesar leads in the only way he knows how and stands firm in the belief of his leadership. Others have different ideas and that's where this classic tale steps up and attacks. Taking reference to gang culture and questioning the very heart of loyalty and friendship this film is hard hitting. The world is Rome, the story is now, the brutality is soul destroyingly real. In a dark world you find the rawest and darkest souls when people are pushed beyond their limits. The future is not clear and opinions are as divided as the loyalty's.
