OCCUPATION SOLDIER (Netherlands, 2009)
OCCUPATION SOLDIER shows the training of Dutch soldiers who will be dispatched to conflict zones. When the recruits of the Airmobile Brigade arrive some are no older than seventeen. They arrive in normal civilian dress, a weekend bag in hand. At the Oranje Barracks in Schaarsbergen they bid farewell to civilian life, to become part of Alpha or Bravo company. Six months later they are ready to ship out overseas.
