BURN! Marlon Brando

Engrossing drama, laced with political allegory and based on a true
incident, stars Marlon Brando as a British agent sent to a
19th-century Caribbean island to instigate a revolt by sugar cane
workers against their Portuguese overseers.

In Gillo Pontecorvo's epic drama, secret agent Sir William Walker
(Marlon Brando) stirs up a revolution in a Caribbean colony. On a
mission to help Britain gain control of a Portuguese sugar cane island,
Walker incites the locals to rise up against colonist rule.

But a decade after the revolt, political problems continue to plague the
nation, and Walker must return to the island to help the Crown protect its
economic interests.

Gillo Pontecorvo represents the fury and tragic disappointment of
colonial uprising with a brilliant precision. It is one of the best
documents around describing how a minority of European machinators were
able to subdue entire societies. This is one of the major works of
poltical cinema. In English with English subtitles for the hearing
impaired. (112 minutes)
