Not so special in terms of documentary, but what a load of misery comes over you. A suffocating blanket of psychological blackness from which little hope can be gleaned. At the same time also stereotype: if you can't learn very well, and if you're a tough guy, join the army. A toxic cocktail in combination with the traumatic experiences they have been through.
300 grams of oxazepam to fall asleep, my God, that's six times the maximum dose. It says everything about how far they are from being able to function 'normally' on a daily basis. Heavy *3.0

Another excellent, honest documentary by broadcaster HUMAN deserves praise for the guts of the people in front of and behind the camera. Soldiers with chronic PTSD who dare to be vulnerable and often tell in extreme close-ups about the impact their PTSD has on their lives are given the floor. The look in their eyes or the facial expression sometimes says more than a thousand words. The behavior of these people is unpredictable: one of them becomes so aggressive from the medication that he tackled his (now former) wife so harshly that he was imprisoned for three months. Boonstra nevertheless does not shy away from difficult questions, not even when another veteran arrives with a scooter and reports that he has just returned from a failed suicide attempt. Confrontational, painful, but with respect and compassion for the interviewees, including the care workers at the Thuisbasis shelter, who recognize that they too do not always have the expertise to help these people.
