Un documentario danese sull’esperienza di due ragazzi in servizio presso Camp Armadillo in Afghanistan. E’ il racconto del naturale cinismo e della dipendenza dall’adrenalina di un gruppo di giovani soldati in guerra. Mads e Daniel stanno prestando servizio durante la loro prima missione a Helmand in Afghanistan. Il loro plotone è di stanza a Camp Armadillo, proprio sulla linea del fronte di Helmand, e sta combattendo dure battaglie contro i talebani. Armadillo è un viaggio all’interno della mente dei soldati e un originale riflessione sul rapporto dell’uomo con la guerra, messo in scena all’epoca contemporanea della guerra in Afghanistan.
ARMADILLO er historien om to unge soldater, Mads og Daniel, der mister deres uskyld i krigen i Afghanistan; eventyrlystne og med åbent sind rejser de fra Danmark til deres første udstationering i en skarp situation. Filmen er en rejse ind i de unge soldaters sind og et forsøg på afdækning af, hvad det vil sige at være i krig; og det er et meget lidt romantisk billede. Som et karakterdrevet, psykologisk drama afsøger Armadillo, hvordan politik møder realiteter, når det internationale samfunds intentioner om demokratisering og udvikling kolliderer med krigens skræmmende ansigt i den komplekse og ekstreme situation i Afghanistan. Premiere 8. juli 2010 www.facebook.com www.armadillothemovie.com

PressTV-Cine Politics- Documentary Film “Armadillo”-09-10-2010 (Part 2)
Cine Politics takes a glance at the “Armadillo”; a documentary from the Danish filmmaker Janus Metz, released earlier 2010. It is a film on the topic of war and sensibility through the eyes of Danish soldiers deployed for the first time in Afghanistan at the forward operating base “Armadillo”; a mere 800 yards from Taliban territory. Armadillo has generated great debate in Denmark, and shows some soldiers possibly breaching the rules of war.
