When her father, a police officer investigating a human trafficking case, is murdered along with her mother, Sawa (India Eisley) vows to take revenge. Six years later, Sawa is 18 years old and ready to strike back against the cartels that she believes caused her to become an orphan at the age of 12. With the help from her father's old partner, the renegade cop Karl Aker (Samuel L. Jackson), Sawa battles her way through cartel while taking the drug 'Amp' to make her forget about the atrocities she is committing. As the memories of her parents begin to fade as well, she takes refuge in the comfort of Oburi (Callan McAuliffe), her childhood sweetheart, that knows the truth about her past.

Brought to us by South African director, Ralph Ziman ('Hearts and Minds', 'The Zookeeper'), 'Kite' is based on the Yasuomi Umetsu anime of the same name. The film, released in late August, 2014, was heavily cut down from the original animi, which was accused of containing child pornography.
