From the onset of the film medium, directors have found war an endlessly compelling and fruitful subject for their art. This title examines the issues of truthfulness and realism that arise in depictions of war, whether in the supposed truth telling of war documentaries or Hollywood battle scenes that are more realistic than the real thing.
