HIDDEN BATTLES is an intimate and powerful documentary about what it means to kill another human being during war, as told by five men and women who have pulled the trigger. Consciously apolitical but deeply personal, Hidden Battles examines the strength and struggles of these soldiers and how they create a life for themselves after war.
Viewers will meet Zachariah, a leader of the Palestinian al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade; Esmeralda, once a Sandinista soldier; Saar, a former Israeli Special Forces officer; Aaron, who was a Marine Corps sniper in Somalia; and George, who served as an infantryman in the Viet Nam War.
