"I say kill him." Lightyear Entertainment has debuted the official trailer for an indie drama titled Jirga, described as a one-of-a-kind feature film that is luckily getting a theatrical release in select US theaters this summer. The story of the film is of a soldier who returns to Afghanistan as a tourist to find the family of a civilian he killed, apologize to them and offer them compensation. Seeking forgiveness, he puts his life in the hands of the village justice system – the Jirga. It is a unique look at soldiers and how they handle PTSD. Sam Smith stars as the soldier, Mike. The film was meant to be shot in Pakistan, but after the government refused to grant them permits, they went on to shoot on the fly in Afghanistan with a single camera bought at a shopping mall. Much of the film was made as they were filming, rewriting scenes on the set based on their real experiences inside the country. As odd as all this sounds, it looks like a good film. Check this out. ›››
