How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A taut courtroom drama centered on a military officer's principled stand against institutional indifference, balancing institutional gravity with personal conviction. The film captures the tension of speaking truth to power and the cost of doing so.
