How It Feels

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

A visceral thriller that interweaves personal desperation with the machinery of exploitation, following two men with conflicting motivations through a landscape of violence and moral compromise. The film doesn't look away from the brutality of war and the complicity of those who profit from it.
