How It Feels

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

An unflinching observational account of young Danish soldiers deployed to Afghanistan, capturing the grinding reality of combat and its psychological toll with documentary immediacy. There's no narrative cushion here, only the weight of actual danger and the moral complexity of occupation.
