With a seemingly endless amount of streaming options — not only the titles at our disposal, but services themselves — we’re highlighting the noteworthy titles that have recently hit platforms. Check out this week’s selections below and an archive of past round-ups here.
Combat Obscura (Miles Lagoze)
One of the very best documentaries we saw on the festival circuit last year was Combat Obscura, which premiered at last year’s True/False Film Festival. The film comes from Miles Lagoze, who took footage he shot as a Marine combat camera operator in Afghanistan, as well as videos taken by his comrades, and edited it all into a brisk, intense hour of war vignettes. Dan Schindel said in his review, “Combat Obscura sinks deeper into darkness as it progresses, as the utter pointlessness and futility of America’s presence in Afghanistan overwhelms the troops. While we are initially invited to empathize with the Marines,...

"That's the wrong building!" Whoa. This looks intense. Oscilloscope Labs has debuted an official trailer for a documentary titled Combat Obscura, described as "the very documentary the Corps does not want you to see." Made and filmed by a former Marine, Combat Obscura tells the truth about serving in the military. Miles Lagoze served in Afghanistan as a Combat Camera, shooting footage and editing videos for Marine Corps recruiting purposes. He brought home all the footage and assembled this doc, showing us everything they would normally keep secret or delete. "More than a mere compilation of violence, the edit ingeniously repurposes the original footage to reveal the intensity and paradoxes of war in an age of ubiquitous cameras, when all soldiers can record themselves with helmet-cams and cellphones." Holy hell, strap in good for this. Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Miles Lagoze's doc Combat Obscura, direct from YouTube: Just out of high school,...

Oscilloscope Laboratories has released the trailer for “Combat Obscura,” a war documentary that first premiered at last year’s True/False Film Festival. Directed by Miles Lagoze, who served as a videographer while deployed as a soldier in Afghanistan, the film also screened at AFI Docs and FIDMarseille, among others. Watch the trailer below.
Here’s the synopsis: “Just out of high school, at the age of 18, Miles Lagoze enlisted in the Marine Corps. He was deployed to Afghanistan where he served as Combat Camera — his unit’s official videographer, tasked with shooting and editing footage for the Corps’ recruiting purposes and historical initiatives. But upon discharging, Lagoze took all the footage he and his fellow cameramen shot, and he assembled quite simply the very documentary the Corps does not want you to see. ‘Combat Obscura’ is a groundbreaking look at the daily life of Marines in a war zone...

Oscilloscope has now released the first trailer along with the poster.
Dan Schindel said in his review, “Combat Obscura sinks deeper into darkness as it progresses, as the utter pointlessness and futility of America’s presence in Afghanistan overwhelms the troops. While we are initially invited to empathize with the Marines, their jokey comradery gives way to vicious menace. There is no apparent mission, just a loop of injuries and reprisals against an amorphous outside threat. The...
