Finding your true self no matter what. Featuring the return of director Kavi Raz to Cinequest for his groundbreaking work in The Gold Bracelet (Cinequest, 2006), The Black Prince is the engaging true tale of the last king of the magnificent kingdom of Punjab, Maharaja Duleep Singh (Satinder Sartaj). Kidnapped from his throne at age 5, Duleep grows up under the supervision of Queen Victoria (Amanda Root, The Iron Lady) as an English prince. After thirteen years, he meets his birth mother and uncovers his true past, the King of Punjab. As his two identities begin to fight one another, what will Singh choose as his true destiny? The Black Prince, featuring the acting premiere of Indian Punjabi, singer-songwriter, Satinder Sartaj and British stars Amanda Root and Jason Flemyng (Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) is a captivating tale of self-realization and identity. – Breno Pereira Sponsored by the Applied Materials Foundation
