5 Days of War
Their only weapon is the truth.
Directed by Renny Harlin
Produced by Dispictures, Rex Media
A grim, urgent war-zone thriller about journalists bearing witness to atrocity, driven by moral urgency and survival rather than spectacle.
An American journalist and his cameraman are caught in the combat zone during the first Russian airstrikes against Georgia. Rescuing Tatia, a young Georgian schoolteacher separated from her family during the attack, the two reporters agree to help reunite her with her family in exchange for serving as their interpreter. As the three attempt to escape to safety, they witness--and document--the devastation from the full-scale crossfire and cold-blooded murder of innocent civilians.
