Born of Hope is a 70-minute independent feature film inspired by the Lord of the Rings and produced by Actors at Work Productions in the UK.

This 70 minute original drama is set in the time before the War of the Ring and tells the story of the Dúnedain, the Rangers of the North, before the return of the King. Inspired by only a couple of paragraphs written by Tolkien in the appendices of the Lord of the Rings we follow Arathorn and Gilraen, the parents of Aragorn, from their first meeting through a turbulent time in their people’s history.

The movie is available in HD, so be sure to select the full screen option on the player below after hitting play.
