First to Fall / Journeyman Pictures (Firm).

Films Media Group, (film distributor.). Journeyman Pictures (Firm) (Added Author).

Summary:

Hamid and Tarek are Canadian boys going to fight in the Libyan revolution. On the outbreak of fighting, they decide to return to their homeland and join the brutal guerilla war to liberate the country. They will be wounded and changed forever by the experience. Their youthful naivety is set against the unforgiving landscape of war, as they learn about life and death on the frontlines. A hugely impressive narrative account of the Libyan revolution.
