Dylan is a native Canadian soldier fighting in Afghanistan. He gets tricked by his interpreter and captured by the Taliban. This is a small Canadian film with some emphasis on native culture. The flashbacks could be more precise. The interrogation gets quite intense. This is a mixed result. There are some good moments but the less competent filmmaking holds it back.
Plot summary
Red Snow is a dramatic adventure that begins when 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 a cache of memories connected to the love and death of his Inuit cousin, Asana, and binds him closer to a Pashtun family as they escape across treacherous landscapes and through a blizzard that becomes their key to survival.

Canadian Inuit Eskimo Soldier Captured By Taliban Storyline - An Interesting And Enjoyable Movie
06/26/2021 I just stumbled into this movie thinking it might be another movie that I watched along time ago with zombies ??? Snow? But it was instead a soldier captured by the Taliban which isn't my kind of movie. It was already playing so I figured that I'd watch it for awhile and probably dump it? I didn't dump it, but instead found the various and separate storylines interesting and worth watching, especially the native Inuit Eskimo cultural aspect/their culture of privacy in life with few words of excess. Good movie.
Interesting movie until it neared the end
The climax of this movie was... well, the end, but not an ending.
The film spends a long time developing the characters, and only as you're starting to care what happens to these people, the film reaches a climatic scene, then ends as if the film had broken at that spot.
I had the feeling that the story writer got tired of writing near the end, so she just wrote "the end" and quit writing. You're left to make assumptions about how it ended or what the ultimate fates of the characters were.
