This week on Task & Purpose Radio: The Warzone, Patrick, Adam, and Lauren review the 2015 Canadian war film Hyena Road. While Canada does a lot of things right ― health care, maple syrup, coffee shops ― war films does not appear to be one of them. The movie, set in Kandahar, Afghanistan, exhibits every war stereotype imaginable and then some. However, it's still worth watching just for the epic firefight at the end and some of the goriest battle scenes to hit the big screen.
We dive deep into Netflix with Patrick at the helm and cover I.T., Hyena Road, and The Invasion.At one point, Adam's dog Normandy poops in the studio due to the excitement of bringing these movies to the table.

"Hyena Road" fue filmada en Jordania y en Manitoba, con una serie de escenas grabadas en Afganistn. Cost unos doce millones y medio de dlares, que es una nimiedad en comparacin a los presupuestos de las pelculas estadounidenses de tema blico, pero es bastante dinero para una pelcula canadiense.

Justin and Will tackle the eternal question through the work of Canada's golden boy director/writer/actor/country singer Paul Gross. They watch Men with Brooms, Passchendaele and Hyena Road. Plus, they talk about the past cinematic exploits of the great white north and argue what its future could be. NOTE: If you are Canadian, this is required listening enforced by federal law.

Dolby Atmos technology ‘pushes’ sound to a place in a 3D space, giving the audience the feeling of an immersive sound world. This session explores storytelling and how to use sound to build a world and transport an audience.
Listen in as Paul talks about the complexities of war, how the world is “not settling down” and about his encounter with absolutes.Film SynopsisTrailer here.IMDB here. Paul Gross (Passchendaele) directs and co-stars in this taut war drama about Canadian troops in Afghanistan weathering Taliban attacks while struggling to complete construction on a crucial highway link.Writer-director-star Paul Gross’ new film portrays the heroic duties undertaken by Canadian armed forces in Afghanistan with the same gut-wrenching immediacy that Gross brought to the blood-soaked Belgian battlefields of World War I in his epic Passchendaele. Hyena Road is a masterful examination of modern warfare that drops viewers straight into the belly of the beast.Depicting an embattled Canadian- American initiative to increase safe transport across Afghanistan, Hyena Road is a group portrait of men and women at work in a dangerous and often confounding conflict zone.We meet a sniper (Rossif Sutherland who becomes precariously implicated in the life of one of his targets — as well as the life of an alluring colleague (Christine Horne). There’s an intelligence officer whose customary world-weary wisecracks — “Even the dirt is hostile” — veil a fundamental belief in the ethics of war.And the film introduces us to a legendary former mujahid known as The Ghost (Neamat Arghandabi) who, for mysterious reasons, is lured back into the battle zone to assist the Canadian forces.All these characters’ trajectories collide in ways that illustrate the triumphs and frustrations that occur amid the moral uncertainty of war. Alternating between relatively tranquil scenes of life at the base and adrenalized sequences that thrust us into the heat of battle, Gross orchestrates a cinematic symphony of soldiering: the highs and lows, the brotherhood and barbarity.Hyena Road does what great war movies can do: it carefully examines the plight of a few so as to speak to the experience of many.BiographyPaul Gross is internationally known for his role as Constable Benton Fraser on themultiaward-winning drama series “Due South.” He was honoured with two GeminiAwards for Best Actor, and one Gemini Award for his writing on the series.

Don’t miss this interview as Rossif talks about his move into acting, why he’s a storyteller at heart and why he feels “we’re all in this together.”Check out the quote from him below in a recent Toronto Sun article by Jane Stevenson.“I don’t mean to be existential or anything, but we find ourselves in this world with all these questions and so few answers and then we try and educate these beautiful children of ours and we try and guide them through one generation to another, we adopt whatever mistakes the previous generation has made. There’s a whole cycle to it all. This war, and this constant answer of correcting a wrong with another wrong. I hope one day…we get to accept each other and celebrate each others differences and in those differences realize how we are one and the same.”Film SynopsisTrailer here.IMDB here.
