Political summercamp

Sommerkrieg, or Summerwar in English, is an excellent documentary. It is in the present present and is about a camp in Ukraine for young Azov (right wing) nationalists.

The story centers around two 12 year old kids. The essence is life at summer camp, but Summerwar also contains deeper insights. Political nationalism and treatment of kids both by parents and camp instructors play big roles. The subjects involved are difficult but the makers of the documentary have balanced it well.

Summerwar is both educational and entertaining, and watchable for anyone at any age.
