IN OUR NAME -- From Britain With Love at the Balboa Theatre
Friday, July 29, 2pm Sunday, July 31, 9pm Wednesday, August 3, 4:30pm
IN OUR NAME Written and Directed by Brian Welsh Starring Joanne Froggatt, Mel Raido, Chloe Jayne Wilkinson, Andrew Knott Not Rated - 90 mins
Suzy is a British soldier, born and bred, but fitting back into civilian life after fighting in Iraq isn't easy. Haunted by the responsibility she feels for the death of an Iraqi child, she becomes obsessed with the safety of her own daughter, feeling the need to protect her against a threat that doesn't seem to exist. As Suzy's paranoia builds, her behavior becomes more and more erratic, until finally, she puts her own child in serious danger. In Our Name is inspired by the reality of the struggles some soldiers go through when they return from a tour of duty, and explores Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from a female perspective what it's like to try to readjust to motherhood and become a wife again after witnessing and being part of violence.
