Hero (2018 film)
Hero, also released as Hero: Inspired by the Extraordinary Life of Mr. Ulric Cross, is a Trinidad and Tobago dramatic film inspired by the life of the Trinidadian RAF officer, lawyer and diplomat Ulric Cross (1917–2013). It was produced and directed by Frances-Anne Solomon[1][2] and won an award in the 2019 Africa Movie Academy Award for Best Diaspora Narrative Feature Film category.[3] SynopsisIn 1941, Ulric Cross, a young man from Trinidad, leaves his island home to seek his fortune. He emerges from World War II as the RAF's most decorated West Indian.[1] His life takes a dramatically different course when he follows the call of history, and joins the independence movements sweeping Africa in the 1950s and '60s.[4] Reviewed in The Guardian, the film was described as "stimulating and provocative – filmed history that means to prompt debate, rather than light matinee snoozing."[5] Cast
