During decades of war, innocent people have been caught in the middle of gun battles. Many of these victims are children. There is a phenomenon known as 'Stray Bullets'. Sometimes a bullet will miss its target or ricochet, then break into fragments and become deadly to multiple victims simultaneously. If the bullet does not kill you it can become permanently lodged in one's body. Because of the bullet's delicate location, trying to remove it can often be life threatening. Our film takes place in rural Colombia and the backdrop is the Colombian drug war between the FARC and the anti-FARC police. It is a story about two teenage boys who are close friends. One day a stray bullet will change their lives forever and lead them down very different paths. One becomes a ruthless and powerful drug lord. The other an ambitious and unforgiving anti-FARC police captain. Many years later their lives intersect at the most dire moment and this is where our story begins... Directed by: Mono Ghose
