I AM WAR

Cinemavixion Review

Wayne Abbott's "I Am War" offers a stark and deeply personal journey into the Afghanistan War, as experienced by five Canadian Forces veterans. This documentary eschews grand military strategy for the intimate, often harrowing, testimonials of those who served. Through their eyes, "I Am War" unflinchingly explores the psychological and emotional toll of conflict, presenting a powerful, albeit concise, 45-minute portrait of the lasting scars that war imprints upon its participants. The film is a vital, humanizing look at the sacrifices made and the enduring impact of combat on the individual, serving as a crucial reminder of the unseen battles fought long after the soldiers return home.
