Synopsis: A Fall from Royalty and 1800vs2020

When legacy, pain, and purpose collide across centuries.

A Fall from Royalty takes audiences on a powerful journey through the Transatlantic Slave Trade, beginning in the 1400s, when African kings and queens—once rulers of mighty kingdoms—are betrayed and sold into slavery. Stripped of their crowns but not their humanity, they are forced into a world that challenges their identity and faith.

Through a twist of time, one of the fallen kings is transported forward, where he meets Eleonora—a woman whose life bridges the pain of the past and the resilience of the present. In meeting her, the king is forced to face the legacy of his choices and the devastating consequences that followed. He asks her to name her unborn son Congo, in honor of the lost Kingdom of Kongo, symbolizing a rebirth of pride and remembrance.

In 1800vs2020, we encounter Granny Eleonora once more—now old, blind, and carrying the weight of generations. We see how she lost her sight in A Fall from Royalty and, in this continuation, how her blindness becomes both a wound and a metaphor: a reflection of how time has blurred truth and history. As her story unfolds, audiences witness the deep connection between past and present, revealing how the struggle for identity, freedom, and vision continues across centuries.

Together, A Fall from Royalty and 1800vs2020 form a sweeping narrative of loss, awakening, and redemption—reminding us that though royalty may fall, its spirit forever rises.
