Burn! (Imprint Collection #194)

A Caribbean island in the mid-1800's. Nature has made it a paradise; man has made it a hell. Slaves on vast Portuguese sugar plantations are ready to turn their misery into rebellion – and the British are ready to provide the spark. They send agent William Walker (Marlon Brando) on a devious three-part mission: trick the slaves into revolt, grab the sugar trade for England…then return the slaves to servitude.

Critic Reviews:

• " Am amazing collaboration between Marlon Brando and Italian director Gillo Pontecorvo… " – Tom Meek (Cambridge Day)

• " A fascinating museum piece from an era in which art and radical politics often mixed to vital result. " – Shawn Levy (Oregonian)

• " Pontecorvo's po­inted 1969 drama of the politics of war feels surprisingly timely. " – Michael O'Sullivan (Washington Post)
