Tribal details the story of three combat veterans and their experiences during and after their military service. Their portrayal of danger, loss, and sacrifice hooked me immediately. The stories are well-told and the editing and cinematography is excellent, but it's the second half of the film that delivers the gut punch.
These men talk about what is forbidden. Culturally forbidden. Forbidden by the media. Forbidden by their own tribe. Each day veterans struggle with mental health, and their suicide rate is far above the general public. This documentary and these men courageously shine a light on a problem that nobody wants to touch with a ten-foot-pole.
It's the most honest documentary I've ever viewed.
