Woodstock VT Film Series: Lost Nation
Jay Craven’s Revolutionary War-era drama intertwines the stories of larger-than-life, Vermont founding father, Ethan Allen, and the pioneering frontier poet and formerly enslaved woman, Lucy Terry Prince, in their parallel quests for justice and self-determination.
Lost Nation stars Irish actor Kevin Ryan (“Copper,” “Harry Wild”) as Ethan Allen, who leads resistance to New York land claims, launches an ill-fated attack on British forces in Montreal, and leads invasions by his Green Mountain Boys into Yorker strongholds of Guilford and Brattleboro. At every turn, Allen navigates thick entanglements with allies, enemies, and family.
