Hyena Road
One bullet can change everything
Directed by Paul Gross
Produced by Rhombus Media, International Traders
A morally complex war drama that examines the psychological and ethical toll of modern combat through interconnected perspectives of Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan.
Three different men, three different worlds, three different wars – all stand at the intersection of modern warfare – a murky world of fluid morality where all is not as it seems. A unique and dramatic look at the Canadian Army in Afghanistan.
