Get a close-up glimpse into the harsh day-to-day realities of war with the trailer for award-winning documentary, Armadillo.
In February 2009 a group of Danish soldiers accompanied by documentary filmmaker Janus Metz arrived at Armadillo, an army base in the southern Afghan province of Helmand. Metz and cameraman Lars Skree spent over six months following the lives of young soldiers situated less than a kilometre away from Taliban positions.
The first documentary ever chosen to compete in the International Critics’ Week at Cannes (where it won the grand prize), Armadillo is released today.
