Burn!
“The man who sells war.”
HistoryDramaWar
The professional mercenary Sir William Walker instigates a slave revolt on the Caribbean island of Queimada in order to help improve the British sugar trade. Years later he is sent again to deal with the same rebels that he built up because they have seized too much power that now threatens British sugar interests.
VIBE
A brutal, cynical look at the machinations of empire and the corrupting nature of power. It's a stark, unflinching portrayal of exploitation and rebellion, set against a backdrop of historical upheaval. Feels like a grim, essential lesson.
