I Pledge

About This Movie

I Pledge offers a raw, personal glimpse into the chaos of war through the lens of youth. This documentary paints a vivid picture of Igor's journey from Belgrade to the front lines in Croatia, captured almost unknowingly by a family friend's camera. The pacing feels almost dreamlike at times, juxtaposing the mundanity of military life against the backdrop of conflict. It’s unique because it doesn't sensationalize war; instead, it’s an intimate portrait of fear, camaraderie, and the loss of innocence. The emotional weight comes not just from what is shown, but from what remains unsaid, which gives it a haunting atmosphere. The practical effects are subtle, relying on real experiences rather than dramatization, making it reflect a more authentic slice of history.
