Diary of a Disgraced Soldier (2009)
Brilliant and interesting throughout.
This is actually one of the best documentaries I've ever seen and working in the media, I've seen many. One was very pleased with the plethora of content regarding this chap's treatment at the hands of the main-stream-media.
The old adage.rings true of, 'If it's in the papers, take it with a pinch of salt'. Here we go further and realise what the paper's printed, was in fact, lies.
Here we have video footage from the frontline, thoughts, poems, musicial skills, anger, sadness, reflection, dispair and hope. It's the promulgations of a chap recovering from the horrors of war, followed by the whirlwind of being thrust into the spotlight.
Again, this is an amazing documentary, especially for what I belive is a first.forey into the world of film.
Penitent (2021)
Cathartic and thought-provoking
Penitent tackles such an important topic using the best of its low-budget, through the eyes of a writer who's been there and done it. Where other films use lots of dialogue and over the top effects, Penitent offers the viewer a glimpse of PTSD on a personal level.
It's dark and gritty and there's even a nod to The Exorcist in more than one scene. Watching Martin Webster's creation is like seeing an artist paint a masterpiece with only three colours. The hole team deserve praise for bringing the horrors of conflict to the masses without a hundred million pound budget. Great stuff to come from Webster Films!
