Why Was Boromir Really Tempted by the Ring… and What Broke Him?
A deep, cinematic exploration of Boromir, son of Denethor — one of the most misunderstood characters in The Lord of the Rings.
This long-form documentary breaks down Boromir’s life, his burdens, the decline of Gondor, his relationship with Aragorn, his struggle with the One Ring, and the slow unraveling that led to the breaking of the Fellowship.

Far from the stereotype of a prideful man corrupted by power, Boromir’s story is one of love, duty, and impossible choices.
We follow his journey from the White City to Rivendell, through Moria and Lothlórien, down the Anduin, and to his final stand at Amon Hen — revealing how Tolkien crafted one of the greatest tragedies in modern myth.

If you love deep lore analysis, character psychology, and thoughtful Tolkien storytelling, this is for you.
