Lions for Lambs
If you don't STAND for something, you might FALL for anything.
Directed by Robert Redford
Produced by Wildwood Enterprises, Andell Entertainment
A politically engaged, real-time thriller that intercuts a senator's media manipulation with soldiers in mortal danger and a professor's moral reckoning, asking hard questions about complicity and responsibility in war.
Three stories told simultaneously in ninety minutes of real time: a Republican Senator who's a presidential hopeful gives an hour-long interview to a skeptical television reporter, detailing a strategy for victory in Afghanistan; two special forces ambushed on an Afghani ridge await rescue as Taliban forces close in; a poli-sci professor at a California college invites a student to re-engage.
