How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A harrowing account of barely-trained teenage soldiers forced into an impossible defensive stand, balancing brutal realism with the weight of individual sacrifice. The film treats their courage as hard-won and devastating rather than heroic.
