"Hurry Home", selected for CPH DOX in 2009, is one of five films in a series about Denmark's involvement in the war in Afghanistan. The series is produced by Fridthjof Film Doc for the public broadcaster TV 2/Danmark. Moreover the films will be released on DVD.
In a blend of documentary and fiction, "Hurry Home" tells the story of two women Gitte and Susie, who send their men off to war. Only one of the men returns. The film shows how the struggle and challenge of war is not only fought by men afar, but also by the women that are left behind.
