US photojournalist Danfung Dennis provides a grunt’s-eye perspective on the ongoing war in Afghanistan in this intimate doc. Shifting between firefights in the Helmand Valley against the ghostlike Taliban and physical rehabilita💃tion in North Carolina, Dennis’ central focus is Marine Sergeant Nathan Harris, who returns from his tour of duty with a metal rod running from shattered hip to knee. Flashbacks, overlapping sound and dynamic editing viscerally convey Harris’ state of mind, leaving a bleak picture of the struggle to win the Afghani people’s trust.
