This is one of the most amazing documentaries I have ever seen.
The imagery is stunning, and the filming is pristine - especially considering the conditions - the camera and editing are high quality, and the shakiness is pretty subdued.
Most importantly, the stories are interesting and all too real.
The editing, which juxtaposes the return of the wounded Nathan Harris to America with the striking images of war is chilling. There is simply no other film which actually shows what it might be like to actually have PTSD.
The soldiers in this documentary are all too real, never joking with the camera while in combat, and coming close to death numerous times.
If you want proof, look closely, despite the presence of the camera, few soldiers ever look into it. This may have been a directorial call, but more than likely, it is because they are real soldiers, and one second looking at a camera - especially in such hostile territory - could cost you your life.
This movie is something special, and I doubt we will see anything like it again.
Honestly - props to this filmmaker Dennis - because he has some serious guts/grit.
