Combat Obscura

director: Miles Lagoze
original title: Combat Obscura
country: United States, Afghanistan
year: 2018
running time: 68 min.

synopsis

The film is a series of images of everyday life of US soldiers at an Afghanistan military base, interviews and shaky shots from a hand-held field camera. Alongside matter-of-fact depictions of devastating consequences of war, the filmmaker also reveals behind-the-scenes army life bursting with cynicism, chauvinist humor, but with fear and anxiety, too.
