About the Film
WAR, INC. is a political satire set in Turaqistan, a country occupied by an American private corporation being run by a former US Vice-President (Dan Akroyd). In an effort to monopolize the opportunities that the war-torn nation offers, the corporation's CEO hires a troubled hit man (John Cusack), to kill a Middle East oil minister. The film also features Marisa Tomei and Hillary Duff.

About the Director, Joshua Seftel, A90:
Joshua Seftel's filmmaking has brought him to Romania, Bosnia, South Africa, Costa Rica, Iceland, and across the United States. At age 22, he received his first Emmy nomination for his documentary film Lost and Found (1991) about the plight of Romania's 120,000 orphaned and abandoned children. Made for $2,000, Lost and Found helped raise hundreds of thousands of dollars and spurred American adoptions of hundreds of Romanian orphans. Seftel's subsequent films include Old Warrior (1994), Taking on the Kennedys (1996) chosen by Time Magazine as one the ten "Best of the Year," and the HBO film Ennis' Gift (2001), made in memory of Bill Cosby's late son, Ennis.
