Everyone I speak to avoids documentaries like this. They want to watch feel-good moviess. For me this documentary and the 20 days in Mariupol documentary are statutory watching as a mark of respect to the brave men and women losing their lives on the front line. For once the brutality of war is not airbrushed and dead soldiers smudged out. Of 99 soldiers in this brigade defending 500metres of the 1500km western front 66 suffered serious injury and 10 were killed in action. We see people being killed, soldiers being shot at point blank range and frozen dead bodies lying everywhere. This is a nightmare for the soldiers knowing they could be killed at any second. I would not be able to cope with the stress, but these soldiers have no choice. It is amazing to see how humans adapt and make the best out of any situation. It is a war of attrition. Russia has the numbers and the firepower. Ukraine has to fight with teamwork.
