Hyena Road

Three different men, three different worlds, three different wars - all stand at the intersection of modern warfare - a murky world of fluid morality where all is not as it seems.

"Hyena Road" explores Canada's military campaign in Afghanistan's Kandahar province, a perilous battleground known as the Taliban's birthplace. The film delves into the intricate personal and professional choices faced by soldiers on both sides of the cultural divide between occupier and occupied.

While avoiding two-dimensional characterizations, it occasionally simplifies the portrayal of the Taliban. Nevertheless, the movie's strength lies in depicting the Canadian military ethos, highlighting the complex interplay of emotions, trust, and mistrust in a war-torn landscape. Through the relationships between Canadian protagonists and Afghan fighters, "Hyena Road" offers a subtle exploration of the human complexities within the theater of war.
