Armadillo

Danish soldiers are sent to Afghanistan in 2009 to help stabilize the country against the Taliban, spending six months on the Armadillo military base in Helmand province.

A group of Danish soldiers and a documentarian spent six months filming the lives of young soldiers stationed near Taliban positions in Afghanistan. The result is a gripping and authentic war drama that won a prestigious award at the Cannes film festival. However, the film sparked controversy in Denmark due to the behavior of certain soldiers during a shoot-out with Taliban fighters.
