Our Falklands War: A Frontline Story, The Times review — “Ordinary voices reveal the raw savagery of war”

From The Times:

“There have been several documentaries to mark the 40th anniversary of the Falklands conflict and some have been excellent. But wow, Our Falklands War: A Frontline Story, two years in the making, was exceptional. It was breathtaking, humbling, honest and surprising, and I say this as someone who has watched umpteen hours of Falklands stuff lately.

It was not a military overview of the conflict, but a drilling-down, giving voice to ten soldiers, some of whom had never spoken about their experiences before, not even to their wives. They let their violent memories and palpable post-traumatic stress disorder bleed out on to the screen in a way that was unexpected and at times extremely intimate. It was part confessional, part catharsis, part horror flick.”
