Soldier Girls

0 Reviews

A year after the comedy PRIVATE BENJAMIN became a box office hit, SOLDIER GIRLS proved joining the army is no laughing matter for women. Instead of the personal storytelling style that later became his trademark, director Nick Broomfield and his then-collaborator Joan Churchill use direct cinema techniques to observe the grueling indoctrination endured by four female recruits. The result is a thought-provoking look at military traditions which anticipates THE INVISIBLE WAR.

synopsis

Soldier Girls is an extraordinary look at a platoon of women undergoing base training at Fort Gordon, Georgia. The enormous strain the women are under, the sadism of their superiors and the element of the role playing inherent in army life contrive to create some tremendously dramatic moments. Scene after scene Soldier Girls shows the truth to be much much stranger than fiction.
