Tula: The Revolt plot
Film about the leader of the largest slave revolt on the island of Curaçao in 1795, which was a Dutch colony at the time. Tula (Obi Abili), a slave on the island of Curaçao, is becoming increasingly aware of the inequality between his people and their white oppressors. When he learns from his beloved Speranza (Natalie Simpson) that slavery has been abolished in Haiti, he advocates freedom and equality between black and white. However, Tula does not get a response from his 'plantation owner' Van Uytrecht (Jeroen Willems) but from his own people who, inspired by his willpower, give up their work and join him. When the news of the riot reaches Governor De Veer (Jeroen Krabbé), he sends Dutch troops under Captain Van Westerholt (Derek de Lint) to the plantation. Tula, who has become the leader of the rebellion against his will and thanks, wants to find a peaceful solution with words. He soon realizes that he must abandon this idealistic idea and join the other slaves to fight for freedom, equality, and brotherhood.
