2. The Making Of Frederick The Great

Out of 117 billion people who have ever lived on this earth, only 38 have been bestowed the title of ‘the Great’ in history.

So, what the hell does it even mean to be great?

Frederick, an artistic, book-loving, anti-war, queer man born into a world where greatness is defined by the bodies amassed on the battlefield, did not appear destined for the title of 'Great.'  This historical drama follows Frederick's tumultuous rise to the throne, outwitting his abusive father, battling the fierce Maria Theresa, and falling in love with Prussia's best soldier, Hans Herman Von Katte.

The Making of Frederick the Great places this true love story at the heart of history, boldly redefining the narrative of what it means to be great.
