Off topic: Danish documentary from Afghanistan
Update: I was in the theater friday and watched this documentary.
This is a good movie - it is not filled with action - remember its a documentary - but those 100 minutes was gone in a moment.

That film tells all about how a guerrilla warfare is affecting the regular troops, and how war changes a person forever.
What gaves me most food for thought was to wach the eyes of those young boys when they leave home and returns home half a year later.

It is not a political film - it just shows the thing as they happens - I really supported when the Taliban was kicked out - but after seeing this film I wonder if we ever get rid of them - it just looks too much the footage from Vietnam I watched in the news as a kid long ago.

Here is a link to a review of the film - note that FOB Armadillo is manned by British troopd beside the Danish, and not US as the review says.

BTW: This documentary turned out to be the Grand Prix winner of the feature length category of the Semaine de la Critique in Cannes. It is the first time that a documentary wins the grand prize in the Semaine de la Critique section.

A link to a Danish site (in English) telling a bit more about the film.
