Viewing Notes
Perhaps the best documentary on the War in Afghanistan that I’ve seen. Armadillo manages to convey everything about war: the tediousness, boredom, fear, excitement, adrenaline, moral ambiguity, political entanglements, adrenaline, horror, and the dually mundane and surreal nature of the whole thing in a concise 105 minutes.
A sobering experience, well worth a watch.
