Verdict on Tribal
Tribal is a documentary following three soldiers recounting their tales from conflict. It dives into the different emotional journeys they must go through to recover. Along with the soldiers they lost in war and the ones that never recovered.
It highlights the different reactions between losing a brother in arms in conflict compared to ones who took their own lives once they returned. This dives into the post-war position soldiers find themselves in. One that doesn’t offer the support they need and leaves them feeling empty in the world. It doesn’t hold back and show what the soldiers do with their lives after.
This ends up being a movie that shows the reflection of being part of the military. It shows the way they just become numbers and no post-conflict care is provided. This ends up being a powerful set of stories of soldiers who gave so much and rarely got any back.
Final Thoughts –Tribal is important for anyone who has served their country.
