Jirga

A former Australian soldier travels to Afghanistan to seek forgiveness in this emotional drama from Benjamin Gilmour.
“Three years after an Australian army helicopter raid on a small village led to the killing of an unarmed man, former Australian soldier Mike (Sam Smith) returns to Afghanistan to find the victim’s family. Doggedly, he sets off on a perilous journey over a terrain where both the Taliban and ISIS are active. Mike is determined to make amends and so puts his life in the hands of the Jirga – the village justice system.” (Sydney Film Festival)
