Hollywood star Samuel L. Jackson continues to stack film roles. His newest gig is the hospital thriller "Unfinished Country," which stars the actor as the chief administrator of an overcrowded hospital located in Johannesburg's violent Soweto township.

His treatment methods are put into question when an American student arrives to do his residency and the hospital gets caught in the crossfire of local gang warfare, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The indie film is based on a true story, which takes place in the largest hospital in the world, Soweto's Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital.

Jackson's recent credits include "1408" and "Resurrecting the Champ."
He has completed work in "Jumper," "Iron Man" and "Lakeview Terrace," and recently signed on to star opposite Bernie Mac in the film "Soul Men."
