| Suzy's a British soldier, born and bred, but
fitting back into civilian life after fighting in
Iraq isn't easy. Haunted by the responsibility she
feels for the death of an Iraqi child, she becomes
obsessed with the safety of her own daughter, feeling
the need to protect her against a threat that doesn't
seem to exist. As Suzy's paranoia builds, her behaviour
becomes more and more erratic, until she starts to
put her own child in serious danger. In Our Name exposes
the issues surrounding soldiers' attempts to return
to "normal" life after experiencing things on tour
that most people can't imagine. This film also takes
the original perspective of a female soldier – it's
the first British film to deal with the aftermath
of war from a female point of view. |
