The film explores the extraordinary friendship between two best friends whose shared mission of peace has made an enormous impact on countless lives. Captain Trevor Greene joins the military to fight the oppression of women in Afghanistan. Barb Stegemann is a single mom who is moved to take on her best friend’s mission after he is brutally axed in the head by the Taliban. Stegemann works with Afghan farmers to grow legal flower crops instead of the illegal heroin poppy--the Taliban’s chief income source--and creates an unlikely weapon in the fight for world peace. And it’s perfume. "Perfume War is an inspiring story of resiliency and determination, against a sea of opposing forces, in a battle to make lives better in some of the most war torn countries in the world. It is epic and unforgettable and we are honoured to have its World Premiere at the 2016 Atlantic Film Festival.” Jason Beaudry Program Director, Atlantic Film Festival The film reveals how forgiveness is key to healing both nations and soldiers in the aftermath of war and violence to give viewers hope that we can rebuild.

Brett Wilson, Author of Opium Brides, Fariba Nawa, Agricultural Economist, Dennis Overton, and Neuroscience Professor, Dr. Ryan D’Arcy to name a few. "I was drawn to this film because I saw an inspiring story about transformation both personal and global, against towering odds,” says award winning film director Michael Melski. “Everyone dreams about changing the world. PERFUME WAR will introduce you to real people who are actually doing it."
