Thriller, Drama • 2026 • 91 min

A grieving factory worker discovers the bullet that killed her son in Afghanistan was made at her own workplace, then sets out to hold the responsible parties accountable. That premise lands squarely in anti-war-industry territory, framing weapons manufacturing and military contracting as morally corrupting systems that crush ordinary families. The lead role, played by Lena Headey, was originally written for a man, adding a mild gender-casting signal. The Canadian production keeps its focus tight: personal grief, institutional culpability, and the quiet violence of profit-driven defense supply chains. Those elements together push the film toward a Progressive label, driven by its skeptical view of military-industrial power rather than any social or identity-based content.
