HERITAGE RECLAIMED:

HERITAGE RECLAIMED – our current project, is in the process of pre-production.

Logline:

Three students’ audacious, inept and amateurish plan to retrieve the Koh-I-Noor diamond from the Tower of London Horribly backfires.

Brief outline of the film:

Three young students: Vishaal, Jimmy and Ollie from Glasgow University learn through Prof. McPherson about the – ‘Stone of Destiny’ – which was taken from Scotland in 1296 by Edward the 1st. Ian Hamilton and his three friends took the ‘Stone of Scone’ back to Scotland from Westminster Abbey in 1950 without any reprisals. It plants an idea in Vishaal’s head – ‘We can Retrieve the famous KOH-I-NOOR diamond from the Tower of London and return it to India.’ But their inept and clumsy plan backfires miserably. They are apprehended and jailed then tried in a Crown Court.

The History of – ‘How the diamond was taken from India in 1850 by the British from a ten-year-old Maharaja Dalip Singh, is revealed through the – COURTROOM DRAMA.

HERITAGE RECLAIMED is a historical drama – based on true historical facts and events.

Some of the Press coverage in the local and national papers about the – KOH-I-NOOR diamond, which is the subject of our film:

1. Koh-I-Noor was no gift. British took it by force…
2. Queen(consort) will cut colonial diamond out of coronation.
   “In the interests of sustainability and efficiency” (What?? Sustainability?)
   Buckingham palace has confirmed.

3. Catherine Blyth’s article in a newspaper says – “Jewels from Countless cultures, Elgin marbles; it reminds us that the British Empire was built on plunder. Our fabulous loot embodies our reverence for creativity.”
4. Dutch painting stolen by Nazis is returned after 30 years hanging in Mansion House.
   (Implication is: could the other stolen THINGS be returned any time soon?)
