A Year at War

A multimedia project that chronicles the yearlong deployment of one US battalion in Afghanistan. The project captures snatches of military life in Afghanistan that go unseen by civilians; interviews with members of the battalion, from green-behind-the-ears privates to high-ranking officers, following those soldiers over time. This project looks into what it means to be a soldier today.

Jury comments:
"This ambitious project did a very strong job of showing the impact of going to war on a group of American soldiers deployed to Afghanistan and through a series of short linear narratives, photography, materials contributed by the soldiers and their families and other interactive elements including maps and graphics, allows the viewer to get immersed in an intimate way."
