Event
Operation Filmmaker
In the wake of Operation Iraqi Freedom, actor Liev Schreiber had an idealistic notion: to rescue an Iraqi film student from the rubble of his country and bring him to the West to intern on a Hollywood movie (Everything Is Illuminated). It promised to be a heartwarming tale, a small victory out of the troubled mission of the US war in Iraq. But as in the war itself, good intentions yielded unintended consequences, and this operation didnt go according to plan. Director Nina Davenport becomes personally involved in Schreibers charitable effort and finds herself embroiled in a complex moral quagmire and power struggle between filmmaker and subject. Operation Filmmaker is an engaging, sometimes comical political parable, taking the viewer on a riveting ride from Baghdad to Hollywood.
