Hell and Back Again is a vivid and emotional testament to the war in Afghanistan. Acclaimed war photojournalist Danfung Dennis hasset out to capture with as much honesty as possible the realities of war fora contingent of US soldiers.Dennis follows Sergeant Nathan Harris on the frontline and back home during hispainful recovery from a serious injury.In this groundbreaking piece of cinema, two overlapping narratives are brilliantly intercut to tell a mesmerising story of one man and his demons on and off the battleground field. The result is one of the great recent films about war; a visually arresting and intimately powerful story of soldiers in battle, and at home.
