How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A three-strand political thriller that cuts between a heated media interview, soldiers pinned down in Afghanistan, and a mentor confronting his disengaged student, asking uncomfortable questions about complicity and what it means to take a stand. The real-time structure creates mounting pressure as the film's ideological debate becomes physically urgent.
