Description

A staged reading of an original feature film script lifted directly from the account of one of the victims and protestors of the Highland Clearances.

“1819. Sutherland Estate. The Highlands. Donald MacLeod and his family have lived peacefully on this land for generations. But their village is under subtle attack by the new Factors who have deemed the natives to be too savage for such a pristine and profitable land. A clear rebel, Donald is arrested on a false charge of an unpaid debt. He and his family are subject to torment and brutality as Donald fights to retain his land and his reputation.”
