    A Must See!

    I absolutely love watching documentaries & this one did not disappoint. If you haven't seen it yet, then you're missing out! Amazing!

    This documentary features 3 United States Veterans and gives each one a chance to tell their own stories in their own words.

    It's captivating, intense, and awe inspiring.

    To hear what these vets have gone through and how they have overcome such difficult obstacles is just, WOW!

    This is definitely a must see!

    We need more vets talking openly about their experiences without judgment or shame. Talking gets you through it and gets you the support you need. Everyone should have someone to talk to. More communication, less veteran suicides!

    A Powerful Exploration of Camaraderie and Connection - "Tribal" Documentary Review

    I recently had the privilege of watching the documentary "Tribal," and I must say it's a profound and impactful exploration of the challenges veterans face during the reintegration process. However, what sets this documentary apart is its emphasis on the vital need for camaraderie within the veteran community and the life-saving potential of genuine connections.

    "Tribal" goes beyond the surface of typical documentaries, delving deep into the emotional and psychological aspects of veterans' journeys. The film skillfully weaves together personal narratives, showcasing the struggles and triumphs of individuals who have served our country. What emerges is a narrative that emphasizes the power of camaraderie as a crucial factor in veterans' successful reintegration into society.

    The documentary adeptly captures the essence of the veteran experience, highlighting the challenges of transitioning back to civilian life and the importance of fostering a sense of community. It's not just about acknowledging the difficulties; "Tribal" provides a compelling narrative that underscores the transformative potential of genuine connections and support networks.

    One of the strengths of "Tribal" is its ability to humanize the veterans featured in the film. The storytelling is authentic, allowing viewers to empathize with the experiences of those who have served. By doing so, the documentary effectively communicates the message that camaraderie is not just a luxury but a necessity for the well-being of our veterans.

    In a society that often overlooks the struggles of our servicemen and women, "Tribal" serves as a powerful reminder of the healing power of connection. The film encourages us to recognize the shared experiences of veterans and to actively contribute to creating a supportive environment.

    In conclusion, "Tribal" is more than just a documentary; it's a call to action. It challenges us to be a part of the solution by fostering an environment of understanding, empathy, and camaraderie for our veterans. A must-watch for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the human side of the veteran experience.

    Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐(10/10) - A truly impactful and thought-provoking documentary.

    It's the most honest documentary I've ever viewed.

    Tribal details the story of three combat veterans and their experiences during and after their military service. Their portrayal of danger, loss, and sacrifice hooked me immediately. The stories are well-told and the editing and cinematography is excellent, but it's the second half of the film that delivers the gut punch.

    These men talk about what is forbidden. Culturally forbidden. Forbidden by the media. Forbidden by their own tribe. Each day veterans struggle with mental health, and their suicide rate is far above the general public. This documentary and these men courageously shine a light on a problem that nobody wants to touch with a ten-foot-pole.

    It's the most honest documentary I've ever viewed.

    Great perspective of what our vets are going through

    This film is a meticulously crafted and intellectually stimulating portrayal of the psychological and physical challenges encountered by our courageous soldiers who valiantly fight to preserve our freedom. It offers a candid and unflinching depiction of the sacrifices they make and the profound impact their service has on their lives.

    The cessation of hostilities does not signify the end of their struggles. While numerous documentaries have shed light on their experiences during deployment, this film uniquely focuses on their challenges upon returning home.

    Regrettably, it appears that we collectively neglect these individuals once they return to civilian life. As a nation, we must enhance our efforts to facilitate their successful reintegration into society. These men and women deserve our unwavering love, appreciation, and recognition that their lives retain value and purpose.

    This film poignantly illustrates the enduring memories that haunt these individuals.

    I strongly recommend this film to all individuals. It serves as a powerful and essential reminder of the immense gratitude we owe to those who selflessly serve our country.

    Our sincere appreciation goes to the individuals who selflessly invested their personal resources to bring this film to fruition. Its acquisition is a worthwhile investment.

    I unreservedly bestow upon this film the highest possible rating.

    Unbelievable Film

    This was one of the most unbelievable and eye-opening documentaries I have ever seen in my life. It takes you through the aspects of war that most people don't see or even understand, which is the aftermath of war, what our soldiers go through when they come home and the struggles that they face when they return back to normal life. Some people can't relate, because they may not have friends or family members that served in the military. This documentary will show you the reality and the truth of what it is actually like. In 2007 I lost a close family friend to suicide after he returned back from his tour in Iraq. He was discharged after his vehicle was hit by an IED and was badly injured. He was never the same after and struggled with coping back to reality. This documentary really hit home for me and my brother. I highly recommend this documentary to anyone and everyone.
