How It Feels

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

A harrowing descent into the moral rot of warfare, following one soldier's agonized witness to his unit's atrocity and his impossible stand against the machinery around him. Unflinching and intimate in its portrait of complicity and conscience.
