#41. Route Irish
Director: Ken Loach
Writer(s): Paul Laverty
Producers: Rebecca O'Brien
Distributor: Rights Available.
The Gist: This is set on the most dangerous stretch of road in Baghdad where a British mercenary soldier is killed under mysterious circumstances. The story of two men who work as private security contractors in Iraq who risk their lives in a city awash with violence and greed...(more)
Cast: John Bishop, Mark Womack, Stephen Lord and Andrea Lowe
Why is it on the list?: With two films dealing with the infamous "Green Zone" strip, by preference, I want raw, and complex human emotions with my non-fiction backdrop. My vote goes to the Ken Loach and Paul Laverty tandem.
Release Date/Status?: A Cannes release appears to be the logical route.

Andrea Lowe has to be one of the hottest female actresses in the UK. I cannot wait to see this film even if it is an emotional toughie to watch.
