RED SNOW to become available May 15 for streaming

Dylan, a Gwich'in soldier from the Canadian Arctic, is caught in an ambush in Panjwayi, Afghanistan. His capture and interrogation by a Taliban Commander releases memories connected to the love and death of his Inuit cousin, Asana, and binds him to a Pashtun family as they escape across treacherous landscapes and through a blizzard.

This is the premise of Marie Clements’ film RED SNOW, which will become available for streaming and download on Apple TV beginning May 15.
