This is a film that was recently shown at the Sheffield Doc/Fest that I was interested in. Liked hearing the filmmaker, Danfung Dennis speak about the process on the Guardian site as he talks about being a photographer and he noticed that the photographs themselves weren't making the impact that he was hoping for. So, he started shooting video with a digital SLR camera and you can see the quality of the images in this clip. He wanted to show that the story of going to war is inextricably linked to soldiers coming home. I am VERY interested to see the entire film. There is another clip that is fascinating with a soldier showing his girlfriend or wife how to load and fire a pistol too. Great looking footage and so telling that this guy had to turn to video.....
