OIFF 2014 presents American Descent (with Subsurface Flow)

2014, U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Stephen Harris edited and uploaded this film. It was his message to the world.

A group of teenagers are sent an unlabeled DVD from a U.S. Army base in Afghanistan containing a video of a strange woman tied to a tree and ends with a clue. The teens follow the clue to another and yet another, until what started out as a game becomes a terrifying chase into the psychopathic mind of Harris.

At the end of the line, the teens’ world comes full circle as they discover they weren’t just playing a game, they were pawns in a revenge plot only a master of war could devise.

 

Special added attraction: Subsurface Flow

Wounded by their childhood, young lovers travel to the desert in search of a holy ground, where the pains of their past can be washed away. See the trailer and learn more at the Ottawa International Film Festival site.
