This is a look at the role of chaplains in the military. Using the discovery of the remains of a POW chaplain after 70 years the film looks at the role of chaplains over the years and the sacrifices that they have made through interviews with chaplains who served in various conflicts over the last few years.
If you ever wanted to know what t’s like to be a chaplain both during and after deployment this film is for you. This is a film that tells you everything you wanted to know and then some about the position. While the film focuses on a Christian chaplains the film also introduces us to other men of other faiths.
This is a solid film.
If I was to quibble with the film it’s that the film is a little too slick for my taste. I know from several friends who are men of the cloth of various faiths that the job is incredibly tough and takes a toll. While we get some of that in this film the film doesn’t quite lean in the way it should. I never quite felt the emotional connection I should have. I blame the editing which at times is a little too frenetic.
Quibble aside this is definitely worth a look.
