The Forgotten Martyr - Lady Jane Grey is a 2011 independent historical drama film that tells the story of Lady Jane Grey, a teenage girl who was made queen of England for only nine days before being overthrown by Mary Tudor in the 16th century. The movie is directed by Jerica Henline, who also stars as Lady Jane Grey herself. Alongside her is the rest of the Henline family, with Jerry Henline playing the role of Jane's father, and Emily Meinerding playing the role of her mother. The film's cast is made up of mostly unknown actors, but they all give great performances that bring the historical figures to life.

The movie begins by introducing Lady Jane Grey as a young girl who is highly educated and deeply religious. She is portrayed as a devout Protestant who is fiercely devoted to her faith and her family. Her parents, Henry Grey and Frances Brandon, are depicted as ambitious and cold-hearted individuals who are more concerned with political power than with the well-being of their daughter. Nevertheless, Lady Jane loves and respects them and hopes to make them proud one day.

When King Edward VI dies, Lady Jane Grey is appointed as his successor by her father and other members of the nobility who want to see Protestantism continue in England. However, Jane is reluctant to take on the role and feels that she is not worthy or capable of ruling a nation. Her mother, on the other hand, pushes her to accept the crown and convinces her that it is God's will.

The rest of the movie follows Jane's brief reign as queen and the events that led to her downfall. We see how the Catholic faction in England, led by Mary Tudor, conspired to remove Jane from power and restore Catholicism to the country. We also see how Jane's own councilors betrayed her and sided with Mary in order to save their own lives.

Throughout the movie, we witness Lady Jane's struggles and her unwavering faith in the face of immense pressure and adversity. She is portrayed as a young woman of great conviction and bravery who is willing to die for what she believes in. Even in her darkest hour, she remains defiant and steadfast, refusing to denounce her faith or her claim to the throne.

Overall, The Forgotten Martyr - Lady Jane Grey is a well-made film that sheds light on a lesser-known figure in English history. It is a poignant and thought-provoking portrayal of a young woman who was caught up in a power struggle that was not of her own making. The movie is informative, engaging, and emotionally impactful, making it a must-see for anyone interested in history or drama.

The Forgotten Martyr - Lady Jane Grey is a 2012 drama with a runtime of 15 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.5.
