Tigerland
“The system wanted them to become soldiers. One soldier just wanted to be human.”
DramaWar
A group of recruits go through Advanced Infantry Training at Fort Polk, Louisiana's infamous Tigerland, last stop before Vietnam for tens of thousands of young men in 1971.
VIBE
A suffocating, sweat-drenched portrait of young men trapped in a purgatory of military training. It feels like the humid, inescapable dread of a place where dreams go to die before the real war even begins.
