Inspired by a true story, DAY ONE depicts a new translator’s first day accompanying a US Army unit as it searches for a local terrorist. As she quickly discovers, her job will bring up brutal complexities as gender and religious barriers emerge with lives hanging in the balance.
Henry grew up as an army brat who spent his childhood both in the US and Europe. He spent five years as a paratrooper in the 173rd Airborne, conducting two combat tours in Afghanistan. Henry earned a MFA in Directing at the American Film Institute. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife.
