In Service to the Dream (2001): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2001, In Service to the Dream is a documentary film directed by Christopher Burns, running about 128 minutes. “Born of the Sword. Ruled by a Crown. Surrounded by the 21st Century. The Glory of a Thousand Years, Relived One Weekend at a Time” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. In 1966 a few eccentric Berkeley college students got together to recreate the last tournament of the Golden Age of Chivalry. Today their legacy lives on in an international organization known as the Society for Creative Anachronism where lords and ladies, knights and artisans create an intricate subculture that even pervades the participants' real lives. Honor and chivalry are the words of the day, but each member struggles to find their own meaning and way amidst the social dynamics that are inherent in any large group. "In Service to the Dream" chronicles a 9-month span in the lives of the populace of the kingdom of Caid, where kings and queens rise and fall, but thousands of people all seem to march to the beats of similar drums.

Who’s in it. In Service to the Dream stars Terrence Adamski as Viscount Sir Morvin of Carrick, Michael Anderson as Master Sir Malachai Halfdan Brightskull, Marcus Barber as THL Beorn of the Northern Sea and Bonnie Black-Shockey as THL Chretienne de Courtenay.
