Sedona News – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to announce the Sedona premiere of “Firebrand,” screening July 5-11 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

“Firebrand” stars Academy Award winner Alicia Vikander and Academy Award nominee Jude Law.

In blood-soaked Tudor England, Katherine Parr, the sixth and final wife of Henry VIII, is appointed regent while the tyrant Henry fights overseas. Katherine has done all she can to promote a new future based on her radical Protestant beliefs.

When the King returns, increasingly ill and delusional, he turns his anger on the extremists, accusing Catherine's childhood friend of treason and burning her at the stake. Horrified and grief-stricken, yet forced to deny it, Catherine finds herself fighting for survival.

Conspiracies echo through the palace. Everyone holds their breath, fearing that the Queen will make a mistake, that Henry will have her beheaded as he has done with his other wives. With hopes of a future free of tyranny hanging in the balance, will Catherine succumb to the inevitable for the sake of King and country?
