THE 1100th ANNIVERSARY OF THE CROATIAN KINGDOM 

This unique and compelling documentary feature film was created to celebrate the 1100th anniversary of the Croatian kingdom.  The dramatic events and glorious victories that led to the unification of all Croatian lands and the coronation of the first Croatian king come to life on the silver screen. 

The breathtaking grandeur of the land and sea is matched only by the dignity, courage, strength, and inventive genius of its people, who have, over the long course of their history, successfully defended their sovereignty and held enemies at bay. The country’s outline resembles a scythe – powerful and determined – like its proud inhabitants and forebears.  

The noble journey of an extraordinary people has not been easy, nor has its destiny been assured, but it has always been marked by a commitment to freedom, justice, and humanitarian principles.
