The Oscar winner, Marc Boalreturns to the world of war but now in fiction director and screenwriter of the short story Series “Echo 3” a story featuring Luke Evanswhere he seeks to show the relationship between United States Yes Latin Americaso he decided to shoot in Colombia to talk about the war and the kidnappings.

“It’s an original story, my inspiration was the desire to put something in this region. I think it encompasses the real relationship between North America and Latin America, even though it’s a story about people, interpersonal relationships, psychology and emotion, and a very intimate kind of drama, it was this real geopolitical relationship, because at least in the United States In the United States we devote a lot of our media attention to Europe, but our neighbors to the south are very important, so it seemed like a good idea to draw attention to this connectivity,” said Boal.

The current director wrote real-world combat articles for publications like The Village Voice, Rolling Stone and Playboy after being drafted into US troops and bombing squads during the Iraq War, but his 2004 article, “Death and Dishonor,” inspired the thriller starring Tommy Lee Jones and Charlize Theron, “In The Valley Of Elah,” is when he begins to tell stories.

That’s why it’s not strange that he comes back now with this story where Evans as “Bambi” and Michiel Huisman as “Prince”, both elite soldiers, must travel to Colombia to save “Amber”, played by Jessica Ann Collins, a scientist who was kidnapped in the middle of a war between that country’s border with Venezuela. In order to tell this story, Boal spoke with several victims and did a lot of research on historical situations, “We spoke with people who were part of the FARC, the M19 or who fought against these groups, we we sought to have as many actual pieces as possible and incorporated them into the story to make it relevant,” he said.

It was important for Boal to tell this story authentically.

But for Boal, it was of the utmost importance to tell this story in an authentic way, also showing the bonds of honesty that exist in the army. “My interest was to speak truth and honesty. The characters have a very candid relationship with each other, which is a real trait of a lot of people in the military. But especially in these elite units, they emphasize honesty to a very high degree and are very good,” he said.
