Of Men and War

Of Men and War’s compassion is matched only by its relentlessness.

This devastatingly raw documentary shows that for some the fighting may stop, but the suffering continues.

This film is raw in the truest sense, yet refined in its sympathy and scope.

A work of astounding sensitivity and precision, it argues for emotional honesty as a moral and psychic imperative.

The access that Bécue-Renard got, reportedly after five months of being there without a camera, is remarkable.

The film’s rigorous approach will appeal to documentary purists while challenging more general audiences who might care to know more about Pathway, Gusman and his philosophy.

Not the type of Iraq soldier film one may expect. It does present intricate experiences of PTSD, but does so with distance.
