River
Run for your life
Directed by Jamie M. Dagg
Produced by Living Films, Lao Art Media
A tense, morally murky thriller about a man on the run in a foreign land after a violent intervention, where justice and guilt become increasingly ambiguous.
In the south of Laos, an American volunteer doctor becomes a fugitive after he intervenes in the sexual assault of a young woman. When the assailant's body is pulled from the Mekong River, things quickly spiral out of control.
