How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A taut, no-nonsense account of American soldiers ordered to take a strategically worthless hill as peace talks loom miles away. The film balances the grinding reality of combat with the moral ambiguity of sacrifice in a war already winding down.
