Beyond the Call

DOCUMENTARY FEATURE

Beyond the Call

Director: Adrian Belic
Filmmaker and Editor in person
This breath-catching documentary follows the humanitarian mission of three Americans, Ed Artis, Jim Laws and Walt Ratterman, who call themselves Knightsbridge. As in GENGHIS BLUES, another of Adrian Belic's films presented in this year's festival, we follow a complex and unforgettable band of travelers who journey to a remote place. Rather, in BEYOND THE CALL, we should say places:  Afghanistan, Cambodia, the Thailand-Burma border and the Southern Philippines."These are our rules:  We're not in the gun business. We don't want to change their politics or their religion. It must be high venture. It must be humanitarian. And it's got to be in an area where few would ever go. If it doesn't hit these criteria, we're not interested." - Ed Artis (Edited by Jennifer Chinlund, 2006, 81 min.)
