Description

Isolated at night in mountainous Afghanistan and surrounded by  militia, a young United Nations military advisor struggles to negotiate  with a powerful warlord.

​

Inspired by true events this is a dark, serious, and high stakes  story about a real subject – Afghanistan and the futility of Western  efforts in trying to change it. It’s about the reality of life and death  in its coarsest and most primitive form, being played at under the  façade of friendship by seemingly reasonable men, knowing that in this  hellish place, death is but a wrong-glance away.

​

Writer and director David Strong extensively researched life in  Afghanistan and applied his personal military experiences as a  peacekeeper to ensure this film is as authentic as it is powerful. He  has been involved in a number of complex negotiations and conveys equal  empathy with both Western and Afghani characters.
