Russian America- an untouched theme
I came across the book "Glorious Misadventures: Nikolai Rezanov and the Dream of a Russian America" by Owen Matthews recently.
His account takes a while to set the scene but it picks up rapidly.
I'm still reading it but it occurred to me that I've never come across a movie involving these people and this period.
A director looking to break new ground in historical drama could think about the very large political, geographical, martial and human scope depicted in this and similar books.
