Synopsis by Clare Perez-Izaguirre Lopez
This adventure drama based on real-life 19th-century explorer Sir James Brooke (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) sees Brooke travel to oppressive and primal Borneo with the Royal Geographical Society; far away from the gifted life he led and failed in Great Britain. Despite all the odds, Brooke finds himself rajah of the jungle colony Sarawak, overtaking previous leaders: princes Mahkota (Bront Palarae) and Badruddin (Samo Rafael). Falling deep into his new role, Brooke must find a way to balance his own morals with that of this new land. Directed by Michael Haussman. Written by Rob Allyn.
