Based on the true story of Boudicca, a queen of the British Celtic Iceni tribe who led an uprising against the occupying forces of the Roman Empire. It’s a female BRAVEHEART with lots of action and great characters and an incredibly powerful piece of writing, which, despite the period nature of the project, is very timely.
A brave widowed Queen starts a rebellion against the tyranny of Romans during the first century.

BOUDICCA (35) lies on the ground when a spear nearly hits her face. She gets up as white text explains how Rome invaded Briton in the first AD and how a woman-led Briton's rebellion.
BOUDICCA (8) and AEDAN (10) frolic in the forest when a MAN drops dead in front of them. BOUDICCA'S FATHER (40) asks for a blessing as he goes to war with the Romans. He is scalped in front of his daughter.
Sometime past and Boudicca and Aedan are still close. One day, while playing, the two runs into the ICENI CHIEF AND PRASUTAGUS (15). BOUDICCA'S MOTHER apologizes for their behavior. The Iceni Chief doesn't mind. In fact, he wants Boudicca and Prasutagus to wed. Boudicca reluctantly agrees.
Now an adult, Boudicca, and Aedan are still cordial. JUDOC (16) helps ELSHA (25) with the birth of a boy. Now with children of her own; CLIONA and MAIRE, Boudicca coolly lays next to her week husband, Prasutagus (42).
In a distant land, Rome mourns the death of their emperor CLAUDIUS (64). His wife, AGRIPPINA (45) frames a servant for poisoning him. Now with her son, NERO in power. Agrippina convinces him to conqueror Briton.
Back in Briton, Boudicca seeks answers from the DRUIDESS. In flashes, the druidess foresees...
