Storyline
Conspiracy Thriller based (mostly) on a true story. The story of reserve soldiers who volunteered to take part in an anthrax vaccine experiment during their military service. Seven years later they discover the vaccine has disastrous side effects. They set out to expose the truth and save their own lives.
This film reveals and confronts a real army failure combining fiction narratives and using documentary aesthetics, a fine line between fiction and reality, between trust and art.
