Summary
Some images haunt you. Others demand justice.
As an army sweeps through a town, a war photographer falls in with them. At first, the camera is there to bear witness to the atrocities of war. But as time progresses, the photographer begins to question their role.
Whose truth will be told? How close do they need to be? And what would those pictures say about us all?
