Mongol - September 29 - The Orpheum, Blairmore - 7:30 PM

An epic about courage and resourcefulness as a young boy becomes a man (Tadanobu Asano), finds the girl whom he had chosen as his bride all those years ago, and gradually reasserts his claim to the leadership of his kingdom.

Temudgin's picaresque journey sees him descend to the depths of slavery before exacting his revenge and reclaiming the heights of power he glimpsed as a young boy. His saga plays out against the stunning landscapes of Central Asia, where tribal loyalties rule and violent warfare trumps other means of resolving differences.

Starring: Tadanobu Asano, Honglei Sun, Khulan Chuluun, Odnyam Odsuren
