I Want to Go to War (2024)

Why do some individuals flee from war, while others actively choose to engage in it? This military documentary explores the experiences of Belarusian volunteers who participate on the Ukrainian side in the Russian-Ukrainian war. The film unfolds in three parts: recruits, active combatants, and veterans. It delves into the psychological dimensions of these heroes, exploring what motivates them to join the war, identifying potential commonalities among volunteers, and, most crucially, addressing their return to civilian life. The documentary raises numerous questions, including the impact of traumatic events on the psyche, especially when individuals have willingly participated in them.
