The film will be presented as one of two Polish films in the International Documentary Competition and it will be its wolrd premiere in Krakow!
The protagonist of the film is Christopher Morris, one of America’s most renowned war photographers. For years, he documented conflicts in Bosnia, Chechnya, Iraq and Afghanistan. Today he lives in Florida and struggles with post-traumatic stress disorder. A peaceful family life does not free him from recurring images and memories. In an increasingly polarised and violence-scarred America, he sees signs that evoke experiences from past battlefields.
Upon returning from yet another war, the protagonist tries to cut himself off from the past, and Małecki and Nabrdalik’s film captures the moment when Morris must decide whether he is ready to confront it once more. It is also a portrait of a man gifted with an exceptional ability to recognise the signs of an impending crisis – someone who for years has viewed the world through the prism of violence and today finds its familiar language in his own country with growing unease.
The film is produced by Short Docs Media and co-produced by Lollipop Films.
