How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A taut moral reckoning that interrogates the cost of survival under extreme duress. The film balances the psychological devastation of a POW's return with a searing courtroom examination of what constitutes betrayal when the human mind itself becomes a battleground.
