We tell the story of George Kastrioti, better known as Scanderbeg. Scanderbeg was a 15th century Albanian nobleman who played a pivotal role in resistance against the Ottoman Empire.
He was a skilled military leader, but he also had the support of the people behind him.
Using his military prowess, he was able to score several stunning victories against the Ottomans, despite being outnumbered.
To this day, Scanderbeg is an important part of Albanian national identity and pride.
