This is real gloves off hard hitting documentary making. It's a must watch, but brace yourself it's anything but enjoyable. A real depiction of life in a front line battle where maternity hospitals teens football games, regular hospitals are all legitimate strategic targets to strike. The 'scene' as the non breathing new born has its legs pumped to be revived will stick with me for a very long time and when the baby started crying. I've never felt such relief from a film. I had a little cry too. This film is not some censored watered down account. This is harrowing real life almost a privilege to watch. Maybe don't watch if you've had a bad day and your spirits are already a little low.
