How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A visceral immersion in the chaos and moral ambiguity of a civil war seen through the eyes of a compromised American journalist caught between warring factions. Brutal, propulsive, and unflinching in its depiction of state violence and personal complicity.
