Tigerland
The system wanted them to become soldiers. One soldier just wanted to be human.
Directed by Joel Schumacher
Produced by KirchMedia, Haft Entertainment
A gritty, character-driven war drama about young men grinding through dehumanizing military training on the eve of Vietnam, exploring the tension between institutional control and individual humanity.
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.
