SYNOPSIS
After Arthur, 25, a Vietnamese-Latvian chef and amateur weightlifter recovers from drug addiction, he becomes a Pentecostal missionary in Northern Vietnam. Arthur’s transformation from wanderlust orphan to devout Christian makes us question our own faiths and what must be sacrificed for redemption. Aquila Warrior (working title) explores the search for acceptance and belonging rooted in all of us.
THE AQUILA
PROJECT
At its heart, “Aquila Warrior” is about overcoming trauma, and finding hope in a life often filled with suffering. It bears witness to both the saving grace of Jesus Christ and to the rise of Pentecostalism in Vietnam.
Filmed over the course of over five years, this story will take you on a full circle of hope to despair and around again, as Arthur’s past sins catch up with him.
