Armadillo (2010)

This Danish documentary follows a group of soldiers from the Danish Army on a six-month tour of duty in the Helmand province of Afghanistan. Similar to 'Restrepo,' it provides an intimate, ground-level view of the soldiers' lives, their boredom, their camaraderie, and the intense combat they face. It is particularly noted for its unflinching look at the moral ambiguity of modern warfare and the psychological toll it takes on young soldiers. It is a powerful, realistic portrayal of the realities of the war in Afghanistan from a non-American perspective.
