Korengal
Why this pick
A more reflective companion to embedded-war footage, retaining the intimate soldier perspective while making space for the fear, bonds, and aftermath beneath daily operations.

Hell and Back Again
Why this pick
Its tactile frontline photography and later home-front reckoning echo Combat Obscura’s refusal to separate combat spectacle from the personal cost carried by those involved.
