Soldiers: Six Stories Six Wars (2021 documentary)
Directed by Tony Villani.
Based on original interviews with a diverse cast of veterans of many conflicts from World War Two to Afghanistan bridged by that with a civilian who lived through the 1968 Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, Soldiers engenders an awareness of what war is to those who fight it or are caught in it, trying to steer clear of politics or personal judgment. Do we really know what people in the military think and feel? How broad is our understanding of their inner struggle and how their experience shapes their lives and consciousness? Soldiers seeks to answer some of those questions. While providing a lead into the next one, each story revolves around a theme specific to each character's unique experience such as patriotism, duty, individuality, fear, death, gender issues, inequality, neurological trauma. The evocative visual style and Eric Penna's original score reflect each story's uniqueness.
