My Father The Mercenary

Friday, June 26 on 4

A new run of the acclaimed First Cut documentary strand featuring the brightest new directing talent. Philip Sessarego was a soldier of fortune who had fought in Afghanistan and trained the Sri Lankan army. In 1993, he walked out on his family and was, apparently, killed soon after. To the family's astonishment, he appeared on television in 2001, as an expert pundit on the mujahaddin. Then, in November 2008, his body was found in Antwerp. This emotional film, directed by James Ross, follows Claire and her brother Paul, as they travel from to Belgium to collect their father's remains.
