Hero, a feature docudrama on the life of war hero, judge and diplomat Ulric Cross, will commence filming in Ghana in May 2014, as the UK leg of production has recently been completed.

The scenes which will be shot in Ghana will depict the 15 years which Cross spent in Africa as Crown Council in Ghana, as Attorney General and Member of the Cabinet of Tribal Chiefs in Cameroon, as High Court Judge in Tanzania and Dean of the Faculty of Law at the University of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania.

The film is directed and produced by Frances-Anne Solomon, and features singer and visual artist Nickolai Salcedo as well as actors Fraser James, Joseph Marcell, Jimmy Akingbola, and Rudolph Walker.

Solomon said: “Hero explores not just the life, but also the dynamic and transformative times that Ulric Cross was born into. Ultimately, the film is about us, who we are as Caribbean people and as citizens of the world.”
