As Gregory Doran's directorial vision unfolds, traditional African dance is seamlessly integrated into Caesar's triumphant entrance and Mark Antony's funeral speech, while the set designers create a palpable atmosphere of dictatorship and unrest. Cyril Nri (Cassius) discusses how the cast draws on African leadership archetypes to infuse the narrative with cultural relevance, and Paterson Joseph (Brutus) reflects on his character's internal conflict, highlighting how it mirrors the difficult choices faced by contemporary revolutionaries. The documentary intersperses live performances with audience reactions, highlighting the powerful resonance of the adaptation.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
