The Irish co-produced documentary The Land of the Enlightened will also have its world premiere at the festival in the International Documentary strand. Both films will be distributed by Wildcard Distribution and are set for Irish cinema releases in 2016.
Pieter-Jan De Pue’s documentary The Land of the Enlightened was produced by Irish producer Morgan Bushe and charts the complex Afghani war economy told through the eyes of the children who have found themselves caught up in the on-going American occupation.

5) I Saw The Light Trailer
This looks like a very generic biopic ala Ray or Walk The Line but Tom Hiddleston seems to be able to do a good Hank Williams. Have a look for yourself.
