How It Feels

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

A historically grounded dramatization of an unconventional military unit navigating the collapse of an empire and the weight of impossible circumstance. Visceral and uncompromising in its depiction of women soldiers caught between propaganda and brutal reality.
