Following a chaotic ambush, a young Iraqi insurgent drags a wounded American soldier into his family home—forcing everyone inside into a life-or-death moral conflict.

SUNDANCE SCREENWRITERS LAB

Huriya, originally conceived by Emre Mirza as Crash Course, was selected from thousands of submissions as one of 12 projects for the Sundance Institute Screenwriters Lab.

The project established Emre as a Sundance Screenwriters Lab alumnus and was subsequently developed into a completed feature film directed by Paxton Winters and produced with Darren Aronofsky’s Protozoa Pictures.
