Lions for Lambs
“If you don't STAND for something, you might FALL for anything.”
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.
This film feels like a sharp, urgent dissection of contemporary conflict, weaving together tense political debates, the harsh realities of war, and critical media scrutiny. It's a thought-provoking, dialogue-heavy experience that leaves you pondering the weight of choices and the power of information, all unfolding with a propulsive, interwoven narrative.
