Armadillo

1 Review

Like THE HURT LOCKER, ARMADILLO puts viewers on the battlefield with a company of soldiers waging a dangerous campaign against the Taliban in Afghanistan. Brilliantly shot and edited as though it were a narrative feature, Janus Metz’s documentary explores the frustration experienced by fighters who misguidedly joined up seeking adventure.

synopsis

ARMADILLO is a raw and unforgettable journey into the war in Afghanistan. Filmmaker Janus Metz is deeply embedded with the platoon, documenting first-hand the daily grind of modern warfare, tense waiting followed by intense flurries of bloodshed. Ethical lines are blurred, and a sense of besieged paranoia sets in to their warrior mentality in this harrowing journey into the minds of soldiers.
