Plot

It is 1972. An abandoned Mexican prison sits alone in the dusty Chihuahua desert. KGB mole Nikolai Dzerzhinsky waits for his contact from the Washington Post. Dzerzhinsky holds explosive evidence against the CIA; information he will trade for asylum in the United States. Special Agent Robert Harper must obtain this evidence and kill Dzerzhinsky or risk the end of his CIA career. As the two men hunt each other they discover that the sins from their past destined them for this deadly confrontation.

Production and distribution

The film was directed by Evans on a US$200,000 budget.

It was first released—as Part One of a five-part series—through VODO under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NonDerivative License in July 2011, and is being distributed through BitTorrent. The director plans to release the film to theaters worldwide in January 2012 after donations from online viewers reach US$40,000. As of October 2011, only Part One has been released online.

Reception

By August 5, 2011, the film was claimed by VODO and TorrentFreak as having reached 1 million downloads, potentially making the film one of the most quickly-disseminated online-only film releases in the history of the BitTorrent file-sharing protocol[1].
