What is Power of Sail about?

Charles Nichols, a distinguished Harvard professor, finds himself in the centre of a revolt after he invites a young white nationalist to speak at his yearly symposium.

His colleagues are worried how the controversial booking will affect the school’s reputation, while his students are vociferously protesting the plan. However, Charles is undeterred, explaining that extremists ought to be challenged and exposed. But does Nichols have another agenda for inviting Carver to the prestigious institution?

Investigating the thin line between hate and freedom of speech, this tense drama will leave you questioning: who bears the ultimate cost of free thinking?
