IN DEVELOPMENT
THE INNOCENTS
Our story starts off in the Republic of the Free State, where the Anglo-Boer War is raging, but then follows the protagonist to the Cape Colony, a region securely under British rule, where English and Afrikaners, along with all manner of immigrants from across the world, live together in relative peace. The Cape coastal towns are quite developed by this time, but the Cape interior is still an uncivilised frontier. It is very important to note that this is not another movie about the Anglo-Boer war, or a war movie at all. The War itself is part of the inciting incident, context and back story for our protagonist. The film is set in the frontier lands of the Cape Colony, where the primary “conflict” is between “civilisation” and “progress” and the inevitable greed and corruption that come with it, encroaching on the lives of the settlers, miners and forest woodspeople who live on the frontiers in search of freedom away from the trappings of this perceived “civilisation”. The story takes place during the late 1880’s. !
“The Last Bullet” is a story of love, of civilisation and perceived human decency vs human emotions, life on the frontier and inherent morality. It asks the question - How is a man’s civility measured?
