Afghan Luke is a 2011 Canadian
drama film directed by Mike Clattenburg.[2] The central character, Luke Benning (Nick Stahl), is a journalist investigating the possible mutilation (by Canadian snipers) of corpses in Afghanistan, a country that appears increasingly incomprehensible and surreal as Luke undergoes a series of bizarre adventures.[3]
