One Bullet
Director: Carol Dysinger
Year: 2023
A real war story is not the story of men at war. A haunting encounter with a boy injured by a random bullet sends director Carol Dysinger to investigate what happened to him, who fired the shot, who is responsible? During her fifteen years following the war in Afghanistan, she often finds herself behind the curtains of an Afghan home where Bibi Hajji maintains her extended family – struggling with her grief and her remaining sons' anger and pain at the loss of their brother. ONE BULLET evolves from a procedural to an excavation of human loss and the redemption of female friendship. How do we deal with guilt and injury across vast social, cultural and religious divides? Ask two tough old broads drinking tea. Official Selection Galway Film Fleadh 2023 - World Cinema Competition -European premiere - Winner Best International Documentary
