Hyena Road: the movie

[Ed Storey]

Telling stories is one thing, telling fictitious crap is another. We have only been out of Afghanistan for less than five years, if this is what we can expect from our exalted movie industry to fabricate now, what will they be making up in 30 years?

I don't buy into the 'oh they are just actors', or 'we are not Hollywood' or 'at least we are doing something'; those in my opinion are simply cop outs. Why settle for and reward mediocre or perhaps everything we now accomplish is at the lowest level and that is the best we can expect? I don't think so, and more importantly the way in which average Canadian experiences two-hours of the mission in Afghanistan deserves better than what Paul Gross can dream up.
