Kelvin Harrison Jr portrays legendary maestro Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges in a film inspired by the incredible true story of the eighteenth-century violinist and composer. The illegitimate son of an African slave and a French plantation owner, Bologne rises to improbable heights in French society as a celebrated virtuoso and fencer, complete with an ill-fated love affair and a royal falling out with Marie Antoinette.
