SYNOPSIS: A village is raided by a rival empire. Most of the people are killed or stolen to be used as slaves. Three women escape this attack, however, and set off to free their people. They meet up with a local revolutionary group at the capital city where the surviving villagers are held hostage. You can probably guess what happens next (it is by-the-numbers).
