This 70 minute original drama is set in the time before the War of the Ring and tells the story of the Dúnedain, the Rangers of the North, before the return of the King. Inspired by only a couple of paragraphs written by Tolkien in the appendices of the Lord of the Rings we follow Arathorn and Gilraen, the parents of Aragorn, from their first meeting through a turbulent time in their people's history.
A scattered people, the descendants of storied sea kings of the ancient West, struggle to survive in a lonely wilderness as a dark force relentlessly bends its will toward their destruction. Yet amidst these valiant, desperate people, hope remains. A royal house endures unbroken from father to son.

For another great fantasy check out Ren: The Girl with the Mark also by Kate Madison under her new company Mythica Entertainment. It can be watched on the Mythica TH-cam channel / mythicaentertainment - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
This is the proof that original content of Tolkien's Work can be created but always taking into account The heart and the true message of the Author... Great Job. For me this is a Prequel from the Original trilogy and it's magnificent.
This is my 17th time watching this……lf u are here 2023.. I was here 10 yrs ago 😮
Yep, I've lost count 😅
Ts my 1st time watching it &enjoying it🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Why nobody told me this existed? It was awesome, costumes, narration, music,....
Instant classic Tolkien lives forever 1892 until the end of time. Thank you for making this I feel the love truly wonderful.
What happens when a timelessly beautiful story is told by someone who loves it, well done, it is truly a beautifully made independent movie, you should all be proud of it.
Hello how are you doing
This was a beautifully written story I honestly can't believe I have never even heard of it until now.
High praise for the writers, actors and director for making this amazing fan project
great movie
Yes, really well done. For a fan film, this is amazing. I enjoyed the story immensely. Kudos for the writing as well.
11 years and still feel good watching this amazing movie, kudos to everyone who play their parts well ❤❤
You must be American, from the start it’s full of death. ☠️ but you feel good 👍 😂

❤let’s keep hope alive
I don’t know how many times I’ve seen it. I think I came across this in 2013 or 2014 and it’s like every handful of months, when I’m about to binge watch lord of the rings again, I watch this movie. I love it. It was well thought out and well put together. Everyone is doing an amazing job acting in this movie. I wish it got more recognition than it has. I don’t think many people know about it.
From beginning to end, Kate Madison, brought the feel and atmosphere of Middle-Earth and those who live within. I have watched this many times and it still is a cinematic masterpiece that resonates with the Lord of the Rings films.

Who's back here after watching RoP and wishing these guys had a billion dollars to make a series?
Me. This was shot on a shoestring budget and still manages to even look better than RoP most of the time, even though some shoddiness would absolutely be excusable in a production like this. 10 minutes in we already know the main characters and what motivates them. They are likeable and relatable. And the storytelling? Legitimately very good. This script is much better than anything Amazon was able to come up with in RoP or Wheel of Time. Give them at least a decent budget and the rights to, say, Story of Children of Hurin, and we will definitely enjoy the best Tolkien movie since the original trilogy.
RoP on the other hand has so far used five hours on nothing of note happening, and the show's idea of character development and storytelling is apparently 100% about insufferable douchebags being nasty to one another and explaining everything we see on screen anyway.
I am here and I think RoP are grate too)
ME! LOL. Just the first fight scene alone makes me wish tthis.
Yes indeed
How come those big names don't have the ability to tell heartfelt lore-accurate stories like this?
This is a great movie. It also shows what can be done by those that respect Tolkien's work and that you can create original works within the framework that he has given us.

The costumes, the set pieces, the dialogue, the fight choreography....it's all so overwhelmingly brilliant!
Samuel Leask hey man I’ve made my own original fantasy film thats 20 mins long on my channel. Took me 2 years to develop the world and make it’s my first real fantasy film. I’d love to know what you think of it, any feedback and opinions are welcome. Thank you very much it’s called The Kings World:Battle of the Soul
It earned over 22M views because you shared it free.thank you.nice movie
I was in the mood to watch lord of the rings today and happened across this amazing movie instead. THIS WAS AMAZING. Thank you for taking time to create such a beautifully filed story 💛
❤
What the hell this is incredible. I've been a huge lotr fan since the trilogy came out when I was a kid. How have I not come across this for over a decade?? Really excellent work.
Men of the west suggested this movie and I’m not disappointed. It was done really well. Emmy and Oscar worthy definitely 5/5.
Hard to believe that this was made on a budget. The acting, scenery, costumes and well choreographed fights to a beautiful musical score are a testament to the amazing talent put into this film and show that limited budget is nothing compared to unlimited imagination and the love of a story. This is a MUST watch. Thanks to all who were involved.
This was wonderful! The costumes, sets, props, and cinematography were all believable and grounded the film. And the characters, dialogue, and story brought it to life. It really felt like another chapter of the beloved movies, and while we didn't have as much time to get to know these characters, you still made us care deeply for them. Thanks for creating this and letting us see this story come to life. It is a hard thing that so much sacrifice must be made, but to preserve hope and a future, it is worth it in the end. Very well done indeed.
Beautiful moral lessons

This is a perfect example of how BIG NAMES and BIG BUDGETS will never mean as much as a GOOD STORY... EXCELLENT!
This film ist just amazing! I've never seen such a great fan-made film before! Thank you for uploading this and thank you that we can see it for free!
Dear amazon, a big budget doesn't equal quality.
Good writing, and giving fans what they deserve is quality.
Rings of power has nothing on this beautiful well made movie.
Love this so much, can't believe I'd never heard of it, hundred times better than the Rings of Power could ever be
I remember watching this many years ago - and I found it to be an excellent story, telling of Aragorn's father and his own great deeds among the Dunedain. A worthy precursor tale to the Lord of the Rings, and the Hobbit - crazy how Aragorn was only ten years old when Bilbo went on his life-changing quest!
What is the name of the movie? Is this a part of the Lord of the Rings
@@lailaahmed9580 It's literally called "Born of Hope" - it's a fan-made movie that is not canonically part of Lord of the Rings, but is based around Aragorn's father, Arathorn, and his brief lordship of the Dunedain.
What would have been cool would have been a pint-sized Estel running around Rivendell when Thorin and Co stop by. I bet Bilbo and he would have gotten along well.
This film is wonderful. Its lovely to see a more human side of middle earth. Everyone involved did an amazing job. You can really see the amount of love that was poured into this. Particularly the cinematography, the actors, and the writing.
I couldn't have put it better myself!
I know this was uploaded 11 years ago and I have seen it twice before. It's every bit as good & worth watching the third time as it was the first two !!!.
Was beautiful. The passion and the 💓 made it so despite the low budget. I am now a fan. My congratulations to all the people who worked on this film.
I stumbled across this on a snowy day. Thank you for creating such a fine film.
Thank you for making such a wonderful independent movie like this. Having read Tolkien's works over and over, it really felt like you captured the feel of his stories, weaving in the joy of Arathorn and Gilraen along with the ultimate sorrow that we already knew must happen. Kudos to the writers, producer, actors and all involved in this project. I think Tolkien would be proud and so very pleased with your work.

This is actually much better then Amazons 1 Billion Dollars abomination. The fight scenes work, visuals in the nature are nice, but first of all you tell a story worth watching
Not even close
u probably have watched every minute of it, ROP is amazing, this was seriously bad
@@nightmarenovels a shoestring budget fan film did better than a billion dollar movie in story telling. Weird how life spin sometimes
@@nightmarenovels I think you means BoH instead of RoP. RoP is the bad one here. The movie maker here had a little budget yet they managed to make an hour long movie about the last Arnorians and more especially the tale of Arathorn and Gilraen.
Watching in 2022 heh lovely film!
The channel Men of the West brought me here. What a great movie, I enjoyed it very much. Thank you for making it!
Thank you so very much for this upload. I'm a big Tolkien fan since 1975 when I started reading all of his books. I remember reading them under the covers with a flashlight...way past my bedtime. I loved when it all came to life with the movies. 👍🏻👍🏻🍿🎥
Hiii from another 70s kid, a bookworm too 😊😊😊
Feeling bad for new generation for not knowing the joy of reading under the blanket with flashlight on school nights and throughout summer too .😂👌
Please where can I find the full movie

Wow that was a hundred times better than the Amazon fan fiction Rings of Power.
love. The characters, the storytelling and the romance. The action scenes where both amazing and gut-wrenching at the same time. Loved it.
For the longest time, I held off viewing this motion picture (and I call it that, because it rises above mere fan-film or homage)...
If Kate Madison ever reads these comments, let her read this: as a lifelong devotee of things Tolkien, and an aspiring author in my own right, I can only stand in gratitude for your having the resolve to fulfill your desire to tell a story so well. I am inspired to continue my own, and I thank you for your work - and wish you success in all your deeds!
Loved this movie. Unbelievable they did this all on such a limited budget. Solid acting across the board too, but Katie Morgan absolutely crushed it. "I found my heart today." Keep up the good work!
Yes, there were a number of memorable lines. And the writers honored the poetic language and cadence of Tolkien without it sounding like a bad imitation of a Shakespearean-like play. It had the true heart and soul of an original Tolkien work. So well done. Can't believe it was a fan film. Really remarkable!
KateMadison I came across this by accident...and I did not regret watching it at all...I loved Lord Of the Rings and Aragon ...so it was so nice of you to give a history of his past to us...thank you so very much ....all the best to you...I am from Trinidad and Tobago....going to watch your 5 part series Ren..The girl with the mark
I watched Ren season 1 and it was excellent...waiting to watch season 2...thank you
This independent fan-made movie is more true and accurate to the works and source material of J. R. R. Tolkien, than a billion dollar Amazon show!
and their made up characters arent lore breaking unlike niggolas blackleaf. even the actual characters are buchered. elven king finrod to human yokel, roman emperor gilgalad, eminem annatar
Not really
u must have watched something different, this fan remake is a train wreck
@@nightmarenovels Let me guess, you're a fan of the amazon version?
Exceptionally beautiful, the music, the scenery, the beauty of the actors.
That was so good. I sure cried. The wardrobe was awsome. And the acting believable. Thankyou
The first 10 mins of this is better than all the Seasons of Ring of Power put together. Brilliant job!
Português
Is beatifull the way in which you straight forward the loyalty, and the love of the heath that in this times, is essential. Thank you a lot for this beautiful production.
In a word, SPLENDID. Methinks that JRRT would smile at this.
Methinks thou art correct
I remember finding this movie yearsssss back and I loved it soo much I always come back and watch it. I really wish more people would make things like this, expanding on the history of middle earth that’s untold by the movies or even the books!!
Nance movie watching from Ghana
هههه
❤
This turned out far, far better than I was expecting of a fan made film

Yeah the camera is out of focus quite often, the editing and fight choreography is not always on spot. But this movie has more heart, wit, better casting, acting, script and dialogue writing than the Rings of Power ever will have. It's one of the best fan adaptions of Tolkiens lore topped only by the original trilogy.
You cant expect much more from them. Especially if you look at budgets and what you get for it. Also, it explains why Breelanders were so on guard for Dunedain Rangers. Because they lived secretive lives.
❤
This is amazing! I cannot believe how well done this is, as something for free and a fan project. You put so much love and passion into this, and it shows. Thank you so much for making this and sharing your amazing creation with us!
100% agree
I 100% agree also. ✨⭐✨
It is, but the ’telling’ is terrible.
Какат ла Гура ту
you folks made this on a budget of how much? Better than a lot of drivel on TV. Well done :)
The spirit led me here, pure chans wouldn't have seen the film otherwise. Really great and not to mention how lovely Kate M is .
I wish there were a way to do more than just click "like" for this film. It is an excellent interpretation; both heartbreaking and hopeful at the same time, just the way Tolkien wrote it. I wish this director could take on more stories from the Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales of Numenor. She did a marvelous job with a low budget. Imagine what she could do with a heavy bankroll behind her.
August 30, 2020... during the covid19 pandemic.... who is with me? love the film.
I am from Bangladesh
Seems to be no choice every one with you god bless you
First time I saw & even heard of this movie. Thank you so much to all involved in this wonderful project & honouring Tolkiens vision. Having read the books all over again, I am sure he was as pleased with your loving approach as he was with P. Jacksons movies. Thank you again for sharing, may you be blessed & much love to you ❤
Here's my spin on the movie. I am not a professional in this field but I am an avid movie fan. It isn't exactly what we would picture an Oscar. But this movie brings me back to English class. When the teacher would read us a book and then we would watch it on screen. But looking at it, for the way the movie was done with the resources given them, they did a very good job. The acting surprised me the most. The acting was well done as well. There needs to be more support for films like these, and I would love to see something like this make it onto the streaming services with their digital effects. This movie/series would launch onto another level. Overall, a great film, and I look forward to seeing more of these movies!
So much brilliant care and attention that, sadly, was simply not taken in the bigger commercial venture. The fluent Sindarin (among many other things) is amazing and so well done. Bravo! 🙌🙏
Is it possible to find Sindarin dialogues from this film somewhere?
Here from Obscure LOTR Facts TikTok! So excited how have I never heard of this before?!
A stunning production, masterfully written! I watch it again and again, never tiring of it. I only wish it were 3X as long...or more. Thank you so very much.
Very Nice Work, Thanks.
I watched the prime trailer and was blinded by the black hobbit.
So glad I found this! Wonderful fan made film that also feels right at home with the films! Special shout-out to Dirhaborn and Elgarain! I was rooting for them to end up together, a shame they both died.
Thanks for the spoiler
Remind me not to be reading the comments while watching it.
I love this ❤️ Seems like the team behind this really loves Lord of the Rings and knows much about it
First saw this a short number of years ago. Instant fan. Amazing how far fan films have come. For example, Star Trek Continues can barely be discerned from the original series and are just as good (even completes some of the original stories).
A great movie I discovered years ago.
Well worth the watch for those who have not yet, and watch again for the others.
not guna lie. sent chills down my back. 20 minutes in and I love this movie
Immaculate! I declare this rendition as true to Tolkien's works. Let all who love the Heir of Isildur keep this and cherish it! Share with those of like mind. He is our hope!
I can not say more praise about this. It is simply impressive.
Thank you for making this.
I am so grateful for finding this wonderful film, Thank You So Very Much For Sharing !
Thank you so much. A jolly good telling of a wonderful tale. Tolkein would be proud.
I hope future works are made by the fans and not by hollywood
Thats what love for the lore does. 25k pounds against 1 billion dollars for the rings of power season 1. I choose this.
This has been here, hidden from me for 10 years?! The timing is highly appropriate I fear, for, the Orc's are on the march...!
Thank you @Kate Madison and company, Very well done!
Ohhh man, this writing and dialogue is pure fire. I didn't even watch the first 30 minutes of this, I listened to it... Oh wow. Wish movies had dialogue 1/3 this well done. The action is a bonus when you have screen writing like this.
This is such an amazing video! I'm so happy that they put in Arwen's Brothers in this! :D

I know this is late, but I AM HAPPY that no PALANTÍR was in this. I admit I have too much time on my hands, but when I see it in my head, wow, awkward:
"Wait...wait, this cannot be right-That is our SISTER!! Who is that guy she is with? Why is she allowing him to see her in such a manner by the waterfalls?! Arwen, STOP THAT!! You are a Lady of the House of Elrond!! Put those bosoms back in your....GREAT ELENDIL'S FLOPPY BALLS!!"
...That is not the raiment of an elven man; he is unworthy of you....the cloak of a ranger? He looks like one of your people, Arathorn...same height as you, Arathorn and....
_Takes look at Arathorn, takes look at man in the palantír, does a double take at little tiny Aragorn with his toy sword_
"Oh, my, GOOOOODDDD!! ELROHIR!! ELROHIR!! PLEASE TELL ME I AM SEEING THINGS!!"
_For the record, Elrohir has already fainted to the ground in total and utter shock: he was looking over Elladan's shoulder the whole time. The little boy is poking him on the ground, thinking Uncle Ellie is pretending to have been felled by his teeny wood sword again. There are certain things a brother should never see his sister enjoy. The contrast between this, and watching the hungry look on adult Aragorn's face in the palantir was just TOO MUCH. The little creep is going to grow up to be a pervert who shall try to shag their sister!! Little Arwen is going to do that beastly thing the race of Men cannot get enough of and, and and, IT DOES NOT INVOLVE ETHEREAL SONGS THAT LAST DAYS ON END AND WRITING POETRY !! THUNK!!-out cold_
This was amazing! It did not seem like a fan made movie at all! The story, music, fight scenes and dialogue were all cinema worthy! This should very well be a canon movie. I hope you continue to make more like this because this is just amazing.
This is not perfect, but it punches well above its' weight.
Well done. Thank you for creating this
Can't help myself... I got to watch this from time to time... especially during lotr marathons... I just love this... The movie is perfect!
IMO it belongs with the trilogy, as a prequel. It's that good, to me.
can we clap for you
This was amazing. My deepest praise to all those involved in this production, and my high recommendation for any fan of Tolkien... for this honors his writing, I feel, much more than the the Jackson productions ever did.
Congratulations for you work in this movie. It is the best fan made film i ever saw
Amazing piece of work. I do hope you release the later parts because the animation and atmosphere of these pieces are as good as it gets for WH30/40k.
This was amazing! These stories need to be out there and this was so beautifully done! Even the music had that pull!
Absolutely couldn't agree more! 😊. What a beautiful story. ❤️. Hope I'm not playing devil's advocate but I enjoyed this more than Peter Jackson money making films!
The hobbit ones I mean

I watched this years ago. Being a Tolkien fan, it warms my heart to know that fanmade films are still being made.
Hi
@@bisolahannah9752 Hi back.
Anyone who's seen Lord Of the Rings needs to watch this.
It explains alot about Aragorn and his history.
I WANT MORE ! SAME ACTORS... SAME WRITERS... SAME DIRECTORS ....ECT ...good story ..great acting ...beautiful country !
1000 times better than what these big ass company's put out ! Thank You !!!
Amazing work!! Congrats and thanks to all the people involve, you're masters of your trade.
Good work! I typically do not like fan films, but I enjoyed watching this one! I can tell a lot of hard work was put into this.
10 year old low budget film. still better than a billion dollar amazon production. just goes to show what a labor of love can build.
I can`t be tired of watching this movie , it never get old always new and interesting from year to year , best movie ever.
THAT WAS INCREDIBLE AWE INSPIRING AND A FULL MOVIE. THANK YOU TO THOSE OF THE ACTORS AT WORK. I LOVE THE STORY OF THE BEGINNING OF THE LORD OF THE RINGS. ARAGORN'S FATHER AND MOTHER AND PEOPLE. WOW WHAT AN AWESOME TREAT THANKS.
Mi
It saddens me that I have to wait until another day to watch this. I only just found it, and I have to work in the morning.
This looks absolutely beautiful, I will be waiting impatiently for a chance to watch it in full
I hope you enjoy it :-)
It will be worth your wait! Start popping your popcorn first though cuz you will not want to pry yourself away from the movie!
@@KateMadison thank you for this wonderful work...I was very pleasantly surprised and now look forward to the next part.
@@KateMadisonIs it possible to find Sindarin dialogues from this film somewhere?
In these troubled, modern times, it's refreshing to come across such stories of honour, valour and love - values that are fast vanishing.
How dramatic, if only that were true. Humans are just as bad and good as we have always been.
amazing film!! thank you very much to Kate Madison for such beautiful film.. would love to see something like this for Turin, Tuor, Finrod, Fëanor..
Far better than I imagined it would be from the intro. I almost did not bother to watch this. Congratulations to all who played a part in this production. Well done.
Regards, Keith.
I too almost did not watch it. I agree totally with your thoughts on this and will add that I hope to see another after this..one where the child is grown and takes his rightful place as king among his people.
Judy Loch Funny isn't it that so many people like adventure fiction like this. I think it has something to do with hopes & dreams & wishes. For the average person in this day & age, going on a real adventure is not easy, but through movies like these we can at least imagine. I need to get out in the forest more often :)
Keith.
U and I have the same need. Winter is just about over and I cant wait to go out and enjoy the adventure.. we all have a mind and it can take us anywhere. :)
Judy Loch You got it right there Judy. I am waiting for summer to pass so I can get out in the woods again.
Keith.
Judy Loch there is a movie of him growing well whatever you call it watch lord of the rings 1 2 and 3
A masterpiece! Kate Madison thank you for your gift...October 2020
For a low budget, they made a pretty good movie. The make-up and set work was impressive.
Brilliant so far….love how Arathorn just friend zones Elgarain, like Aragorn friend zones Eowyn
Excellent movie! Thanks for the upload---great quality!
If Amazon had tasked Madison with making Rings of Power, we could have had a genuinely good show, instead of the massive clusterfuck it was. Born of Hope is truly an outstanding production, considering the budget. *Major respects to all involved.*
Exactly what I was thinking...
Agreed. Tried to watch the Amazon production one more time. I’ve not gotten through it yet. I don’t feel anything for the actors and the plot is a convoluted mess without the incredible spirit of Tolkien! I can’t believe how an experienced director could have produced that piece of trash. Horrible, absolutely horrible writing and the constant switching between stories can give you whiplash. Not going to try a third time. I can’t stand that they turned Galadriel into a hate-filled feminist without any charm or mystery. One of the worst productions ever. Worthy of a Razzie Award.
This movie made me cry 😢
Absolutely agree with people wishing these guys had a money and do it as it should be in the RoP
