The Odyssey is one of the oldest stories in history.

WARFARE is a nail biting true story written and directed by ex navy seal Ray Mendoza alongside filmmaker Alex Garland. This action packed drama tells the true story of a US special forces surveillance mission gone wrong in enemy territory in Iraq. Set in 2006 and using testimony from the real life Platoon members it…
