Set in Iraq in 2003, Sand Castle follows a group of American soldiers in the early days of the second Gulf War. Bearing witness to the heat and the horror is the inexperienced Private Matt Ocre (Nicholas Hoult), who, together with several fellow soldiers, is ordered to the outskirts of Baqubah to repair a water pumping station damaged by U.S. bombs. But, as Ocre discovers, in an atmosphere where resentment and anger fester, trying to win the hearts and minds of the locals is a task fraught with danger. It’s here, in the streets, squares and schools that he discovers the true cost of war. Sand Castle is directed by Brazilian filmmaker Fernando Coimbra, of A Wolf at the Door previously as well as a few episodes of "Narcos". The script is written by Chris Roessner. Netflix releases Coimbra's Sand Castle streaming starting April 21st this spring
