The Strongest Lightning Strikes Not From Dark Skies

As the Olympian gods struggle to make sense of the end of their empire, a rebellion is rising from the valley below. With a script written in dactylic hexameter and performed by poets, the film examines how the forces of power often fail to recognize the frailty of their rule, while the oppressed and the organized find their capacity to strike need not wait for the confluence of an imagined perfect storm.
