HERO:<br />
Inspired By The Extraordinary Life & Times Of Mr. Ulric Cross<br />
“<strong>Hero</strong> explores not just the life, but also the dynamic and transformative times that Ulric Cross was born into.<br />
Ultimately, the film is about us, who we are as African-Caribbean people and as citizens of the world.”<br />
Frances-Anne Solomon, Director.<br />
In 1941 Ulric Cross, a young man from Trinidad, leaves his island home to seek his fortune. He survives the War<br />
as the RAF’s most decorated West Indian. Then, his life takes another course and he becomes part of the black<br />
independence movement that changed history. Cross’ long life eventually spanned key moments of the 20th<br />
Century including independence in Africa and then the Caribbean.<br />
Featuring a strong line-up of British actors:<br />
Nikolai Salcedo, Joseph Marcell, Jimmy Akingbola,<br />
Fraser James, Pippa Nixon & Rudolph Walker.<br />
Director/Writer: Frances-Anne Solomon<br />
