The Interpreters

Afghan and Iraqi translators played a key role in enabling communication between locals and foreign forces. But as American involvement in the war-torn region winds down, these abandoned interpreters are faced with an impossible choice: wait for U.S. amnesty paperwork that may never materialise or attempt a hazardous exit route to Europe. With the increasing threat of violence from fundamentalist insurgents, hope is dwindling for these American allies who are seeking survival as a reward for their sacrifice. The Interpreters offers a tense yet poignant portrayal of the high-stakes of war's aftermath.
