A soldier's journey through Italy's operations, breathtaking sights, and a spontaneous leave in Rome. The unspoken stories of service and sacrifice.

Authenticity drives engagement in historical/documentary content.
Simple, static shots keep the focus entirely on the subject's words.
Split screens can effectively show both sides of an interview without constant cutting.
