...very interested in the things she's doing and hope she continues it, particularly the work on Iraq...She's on the cutting edge of some interesting material," says Phebe A. Marr, a senior fellow at the U.S. Military National Defense University...
Screenwriter-Director Leon Marr (adapting a novel by Joan Barfoot) is a neat freak with images. Every shot is composed precisely enough to win Edna's approval.
