PROMO CODE 18COMMUNITY for Kodoom
In Iranian-American filmmaker Maryam Keshavarz’s latest, a war correspondent gets taken hostage while on assignment, prompting his mother (Susan Sarandon) — impatient with the government’s lack of concern — to take matters into her own hands.
Televised images of armed conflict are sadly familiar in our modern age. But the lesser-known stories of loved ones left in limbo and in fear following violent acts are the basis of this new film from Iranian-American filmmaker Maryam Keshavarz (Circumstance).
Helen (Academy Award winner Susan Sarandon) is a veteran emergency room nurse facing another kind of crisis when her only son - a war correspondent on foreign assignment — is taken hostage by a terrorist organization. Initially (and somewhat naively) confident that the highest levels of her government will make her son's safe return a priority, Helen soon becomes disillusioned by the state's inaction and double-speak.
