Very powerful and thought provoking topic. Strange mix of normal documentary style interviews and beautiful arty photography especially scenes of landscape, but that wasn't a bad thing, just unusual for a documentary.

"I'm ashamed of the things I've been put through, I'm ashamed of the person I am" (Ian Curtis)

The presence of Joy Division looms large over this powerful documentary about the lives and suffering of ex-servicemen, from the title to the Mancunian roots of the narrator and guide, photographer Stuart Griffiths.

Beautiful photography from DoP David Proctor frames the lives and tales of the men interviewed.

The suffering, both physical and emotional, is laid before you and it would be a heart of stone that fails to be moved by the stories told.

Beautiful.

Painful.
