BEING KING ARTHUR

(co-production with Matt Conil – scheduled release in late 2012)

A biker and former army squaddie turned spiritual leader and parliamentary candidate, King Arthur Pendragon is a very modern day King.

 

A veteran of the protest movement, he’s been named by one magazine as being one of the ten most outrageous people in the UK, and is a constant thorn in the side of local and national institutions.

 

With rare and exclusive access, Being King Arthur uncovers the man behind the robes, also providing an insight into the resurgent Druid movement and the issues facing us all as we enter 2012.
