First RIVER Teaser Suggests You Should Mind Your Own Damn Business

Hey, I get it. You see something bad going down, your first instinct is to help. That's a good thing, a humane reaction, something we tell our children that they should do. But sometimes, maybe you should mind your own damn business. 

That's the feeling I get from watching the first teaser for River, directed by Jamie Dagg. The movie's official synopsis sets it up: 

In the south of Laos, an American volunteer doctor becomes a fugitive after he intervenes in the sexual assault of a young woman. When the assailant's body is pulled from the Mekong River, things quickly spiral out of control. 

Rossif Sutherland stars as the doctor, with Amphaiphun Phimmapunya and Douangmany Soliphanh (both from Chanthaly) in supporting roles. Mattie Do, director of Chanthaly, served as one of the producers. The movie is heading for its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. Watch the teaser below. 

[Full disclosure: ScreenAnarchy.com editor and founder Todd Brown served as an executive producer.]
