Stop-LossStop-Loss: An interview with director Kimberly Peirce: STOP-LOSS director Kimberly Peirce’s first film since the Academy Award-winning Boys Don’t Cry, is a topical and emotionally penetrating drama examining a government policy that has affected the lives of more than 80,000 of America’s brave men and women in uniform. The enforcement of the Stop-Loss policy makes each of them walk the fine line between doing their duty and doing what's right. Sgt. Brandon King (Ryan Phillippe) fought for America. He fought for freedom. He fought for his family. He gave everything and then he came home to begin his life anew. But now they want more. They want him back. Ryan Phillippe, Abbie Cornish, Channing Tatum and Joseph Gordon-Levit star. We joined Kimberly Peirce to talk about her new film and making a movie about a war we are still in. The director enlightens us about the inspiration for the film, working intensely with real soldiers and using film to make political change. --- Stop-Loss is now available on DVD Posted on 07/18/08 by: FCFeatures
