Toronto Human Rights Watch Film Festival

 
Journalist and author Linden MacIntyre will introduce tonight’s film, Triage, Danis Tanovic’s latest exploration of how battle alters the human heart.
 
The film stars Colin Farrell as a war photographer. High in the arid mountains of Kurdistan pursuing a war without borders, Mark (Colin Farrell) and David (Jamie Sives) witness and capture horrendous images, from combatants pulverized by ammunition, to a doctor who works heroically to save the wounded but shoots dead those he knows he can’t help. The friends begin to disagree over whether to stay or flee the chaos. Eventually they separate and lose contact, and Mark must return home to Ireland alone.
 
Linden MacIntyre is the co-host of The Fifth Estate, CBC Television’s flagship investigative affairs program. He is the winner of nine Gemini Awards for broadcast journalism. His most recent book, The Bishop’s Man, won the 2009 Scotiabank Giller Prize.
