LITTLE JAFFNA
Lawrence Valin adapts his short Little Jaffna into a color-popping socio-political spin on The Departed, offering a unique perspective on the Tamil diaspora in Paris. He directs and stars as Michael, a young police officer infiltrating a Tamil gang. As his loyalty is tested, the film delves into identity, community, and the complexities of immigrant life, all told through dynamic action and performances.
