An innocent children’s game of war goes awry, opening up a lens into the psyche of a 7-year-old boy, a 1st generation Mexican-American, whose father served as a soldier in Iraq. Shot on location in Chicago’s culturally rich neighborhood of Pilsen, the film raises questions about war, immigration and society’s perception of peace. The film recently won the highly competitive 2009 IFP Production Fund; a $100,000 grant worth of in-kind goods and services.
