The Lost King

A determined amateur historian defies the academic establishment in a personal quest to locate the long-lost remains of King Richard III, believed to have been missing for over five centuries. Against skepticism and bureaucratic skepticism, she rallies support, navigates institutional resistance, and orchestrates a grassroots excavation in an unlikely urban setting. The story follows her persistence and conviction as she confronts obstacles both logistical and emotional, revealing how obsession can transform into revelation.

Blending moments of dry humor with poignant drama, the film explores themes of memory, identity, and the tension between official history and human tenacity. As the search draws public attention, the consequences of discovery ripple outward—provoking debate, testing relationships, and forcing a reexamination of who gets to tell the past. Ultimately it celebrates the courage to pursue the truth even when everyone else doubts you.
