With a lifetime of training, the love of his life at his side, and a dedication to regain his freedom, Oroonoko must lead a slave rebellion, risking everything he has for what he and his family should have: freedom. They beg to be emancipated, but the plantation owner hardly considers their request, forcing Oroonoko to take his freedom back by force. When Imoinda becomes pregnant, the couple decide to do whatever it takes to ensure the best life for their child. This joy is short lived, as the horrors of slavery take its toll. After the British general sells Oroonoko into slavery, he is reunited with Imoinda, as they are sold to work on the same plantation. Heartbroken, Oroonoko goes back to war, only to be tricked and captured by a British general. When Oroonoko and Imoinda rebel against this, the King sells Imoinda into slavery. Oroonoko and Imoinda quickly fall in love and become betrothed, but the King, Oroonoko’s father, hears of Imoinda’s beauty and decides to take her as one of his wives. There, he meets Imoinda, the daughter of the general. When a celebrated general saves Oroonoko’s life, trading his own to take an arrow for Oroonoko, the young prince feels indebted to the man and decides to go pay his respects to the late general’s family. After learning how to fight at a young age, Oroonoko, an African prince, fights alongside his army against invading forces.
