Do Not Hesitate (2021)
Don't expect the occupied to like you

Watched this film last night and still thinking about this morning, always the mark of a good film. The makers have given you very few facts and so you assume it's making a point about an occupying army. This is a story about soldiers not a war film. In an unspecified occupied country, on a patrol whose mission is never stated, an expensive personnel carrier is damaged and a small number of soldiers are left to guard it. Although the time is relatively short they feel abandoned with no effective leader. The clash of cultures of the western soldiers and a local lad is stark, neither understands the other. A lesson in the limitation of military solutions.
