The story of the Medici family of Florence, their ascent from simple merchants to power brokers sparking an economic and cultural revolution. Along the way, they also accrue a long list of powerful enemies.
An enactment of the last days of Alessandro de’ Medici, who was named the first Duke of Florence in 1532. De Medici, born to an African servant in the Medici household, was assassinated by his cousin Lorenzino five years into his rule. Picking up on Everson’s 2012 short film Rhinoceros, the film broadens the scope of the artist’s look at the movement and backstories of people of African descent.
