I haven’t really focused on posting previews of upcoming shows, but sometimes I catch wind of something that sounds worth mentioning. It would be nice if this film opens at the VIFF, but looks like its Sept 30 premiere is in only two cities in the USA. (Update: It’s playing Sept 13 and 15 at the Toronto International Film Festival, so maybe there’s hope.)

The War Within is the story of Hassan, a Pakistani engineering student in Paris who is mistakenly apprehended for terrorist activities and forcibly interrogated by Western intelligence services. So shaken by the experience, he vows revenge and joins a terrorist cell based in New York City with plans to begin the ground war against the West in the United States.
