The first dramatic film set entirely during the Iraq War, THE SITUATION captures the ambiguity when there are no clearly defined good guys and bad guys. Connie Nielsen plays a fearless journalist investigating the death of a young Iraqi at a checkpoint. While trying to make sense of the chaos around her, she finds time for a covert affair with a CIA operative (Damian Lewis). Directed by Philip Haas (ANGELS AND INSECTS) and written by war correspondent Wendell Steavenson. “Powerful… compelling and deeply disturbing” – San Francisco Chronicle.
