Penitent

A truly outstanding and thorough account of the war in Bosnia. Served in Bosnia 1994 and brought back a few memories from the tour.

A place that was in complete turmoil and the aftermath complete shambles there.

Producers actors alike very professional and showed the dark horrid side of ptsd that many of us have endured. Well done mr Webster and co bravo guys and girls Tomo Ex Royal Anglian Op Grapple 4.

With a very small budget this team of filmmakers have opened the window on what some military veterans have been through. Dark at times and thought provoking, this film deserves all the awards it has claimed. We tend to forget that not all war wounds are on the surface and some take years if ever to heal. This was a brutal war that the history books tend to overlook but happened on our doorstep in mainland Europe. Well done to Martin Webster and your team and let's see plenty more. You should all be very proud of what you have all created and I look forward to seeing more from you in the future.

Being an Ex-Squaddie and serving in the balkans I found this film to hit me right where it hurts, Firstly the Whole squaddie way was nailed to a T with the way the officers spoke to JNCOs and the way that all commands were given it felt very real and non scripted. But mainly the locations and the way the events all unfolded was very hard hitting, it took me back 25years and gave me a nostalgia trip.

Well done to all who was involved and the awards are justifies.

A very successful and completed project for the film company .

The story is well written , scripted , well produced and well directed . The film company has delivered a film that highlights the difficulty of veterans in a loud voice.

The cast are simply fantastic and deserve recognition for bringing the struggles to life.

It also addresses the lack of mental health support available within the uk .

The story involves some twists which were extremely well written .

Kudos to all involved.

This film moved me and reminded me of the mental trauma that our servicemen and women endure as part of their everyday job. It is easy to forget the heartache, horror, anxiety, loneliness, anger, confusion, self-doubt, sadness, and, of course, ultimately, the fear that military personnel live with all of the time. We forget because these people are professionals and just get on with the job they signed up to do. But we must never forget. And this powerful film tells us why. As ex military myself, I know only too well that many servicemen and women do not share their experiences because they find it too difficult. This why a film like "Penitent" is important because it is their voice, a voice that needs to be heard. It also made me think a lot more about being too judgmental and pausing to consider the reasons behind other people's behaviour.. Congratulations on a job well done! Full marks for the music score too!
