Hannibal Rising

It started with revenge.

A dark origin story tracing the psychological and traumatic roots of a serial killer, grounded in historical horror and the brutality of war.

The story of the early, murderous roots of the cannibalistic killer, Hannibal Lecter – from his hard-scrabble Lithuanian childhood, where he witnesses the repulsive lengths to which hungry soldiers will go to satiate themselves, through his sojourn in France, where as a medical student he hones his appetite for the kill.
