Synopsis

To Anyone Who Can Hear Me is a magical, vivid and poetic exploration of damaged human relationships. Nine passengers on a train must confront their fears, solitude and emotional emptiness. Each passenger has a different direction and all of them have something in common - their impotence to deal with their own emotions.


The story aims to establish a conversation with the audience about life: about men and women, their suffering and incomprehensible frustrations, their isolation at not being able to communicate their emotions to one another, their self-destruction, and most of all their powerless search for love and truth in a world with now answers.


To Anyone Who Can Hear Me is a film project characterised by its dramatic black and white photography accompanied by a haunting and evocative soundtrack. It is innovative in its structure and story-telling techniques and it breaks with conventional cinematic practice. The film takes a unique approach to the themes of love and isolation offering the audience the opportunity to be voyeurs of the suffering of others. Through this experience they are invited to reflect and look at their own lives with an honest eye.

Synopsis

Tony Fitzjohn, an orphaned drifter from London finds himself down and out in a remote East African town. To earn money for a ticket back to England, he agrees to a couple of week's work on a secluded game reserve.





Tony discovers that his reclusive employer is George Adamson of 'Born Free' fame who, many years before with his wife Joy, set the tame lioness Elsa free in the wild. After Born Free, George retreated from the world to a reserve called Kora. Here he oversees the herds of elephant and rhino, but his main work is to re-introduce dozens of captive lions from around the world, back into the wild. Tony grows to understand the lions and to love them as much as George.





One of the most deadly developments in Northern Kenya is the arrival of bandits or 'shifta' - small bands of renegade soldiers on the run from the wars - merciless toward rhino, elephant and man. A small band of shifta move toward George's camp to kill the Old Lion Man. Tony helps to drive the shifta away, but is too late. George dies in his arms.





George's death has an international impact and stimulates a successful initiative by the Kenyan Government to drive out the shifta and end the poaching.
