Alexander Conquering 90 percent of the known world by age 25, Alexander the Great (Colin Farrell) led his armies across 22,000 miles of sieges and conquests in just eight years. From tiny Macedonia, Alexander led his armies against the mighty Persian Empire, south to Egypt and finally made his way east to India.

This film concentrates on those eight years of battles and his relationship to his boyhood friend and battlemate Hephaestion.

I Am David I Am David is adapted from Anne Holm’s internationally acclaimed novel North to Freedom.

I Am David addresses the cruelties, politics and suffering of warfare while celebrating the resilience of youth and the unbreakable spirit of a child.
