About This Movie

Helicopters (2018) dives into the psyche of Michael Farih, a man whose childhood dreams of flying took a backseat to the harsh realities of life. The film has an almost meditative pace, drawing you in as it contrasts the hopeful visions of youth with the pragmatic choices of adulthood. It captures the weight of Farih's military past and the chaotic transition to civilian life, all while weaving in his lingering aspirations. The tone is both reflective and somber, with a subtle undercurrent of nostalgia that resonates. The documentary effectively uses practical effects and raw interviews, giving it an authentic feel that makes you ponder—where do our dreams go?
