Director Reed Van Dyk's debut feature 'Atonement' depicts a tragic incident during the 2003 Iraq War where U.S. Marines mistakenly kill members of an Iraqi family, following the consequences for both the bereaved grandmother Mariam and the Marine lieutenant Lou over the next decade. The film, featuring standout performances by Hiam Abbass and Boyd Holbrook, offers a rare perspective that humanizes Iraqi civilians rather than focusing solely on American soldiers.
