The Dry Land

Starring Golden Globe Winner America Ferrera (Ugly Betty) in her most dramatic and powerful role to date and winner of Best International Film at the Edinburgh Film Festival. James (Ryan O’Nan) returns from Iraq to face a new battle—reintegrating into his small-town life in Texas. His wife (America Ferrera), his mother, and his friend provide support, but they can’t fully understand the pain and suffering he feels since his tour of duty ended. Lonely, James reconnects with an army buddy, who provides him with compassion and camaraderie during his battle to process his experiences in Iraq. But their reunion also exposes the different ways that war affects people—at least on the surface.The Dry Land is about one man’s fight within his own terrain—his country, home, and mind—and his journey to rebuild what he’s lost. Featuring an all-star cast including Academy Award Winner Melissa Leo (The Fighter), Ethan Suplee (My Name Is Earl), Jason Ritter (The Event), Wilmer Valdorrama (That 70‘s Show)
