Lions for Lambs

If you don't STAND for something, you might FALL for anything.

Redford's latest takes a look at the US involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq. Through three separate story lines, we gain different perspectives on the issue. One thread has a journalist interviewing a rising-star politician, who is pushing a new strategy in Afghanistan. Over on the other coast, an aging professor tries to talk sense into an underachieving student. Meanwhile in Afghanistan, two gung-ho former students come face to face with the reality of war.

90 minutes, Mature Accompaniment under 10 (Violence)
