The Story

David Locke (Nathan Clark Sapsford), a former British soldier turned UN war crimes investigator, faces the prospect of an early retirement. One night, David is approached by a ghost from his past – a victim of the Yugoslav wars named Emir Ibrahimovic. Emir believes that he’s located the notorious and previously presumed dead paramilitary commander Ivan Novak (Slododan Bestic, A Serbian Film), living in plain sight in Belgrade, Serbia.

Despite the disapproval of his superiors, David goes to Belgrade on a solo mission funded by Emir, in order to hunt, capture, and bring to justice the man who has caused so much pain in the world.

In this gripping drama shot in Serbia, Australian writer/director Alastair Newton Brown perfectly captures the concept of human compassion, and the great lengths one will take to achieve true justice.

This screening will be followed by a live Q&A featuring writer/director Alastair Newton Brown and star Nathan Sapsford
