Safe Haven is a fascinating documentary that dives into the personal journeys of U.S. war resisters who found refuge in Canada during the Vietnam and Iraq wars. The tone feels intimate, almost like sitting down with old friends who share their stories. The pacing is reflective, allowing the weight of their experiences to settle in. It explores heavy themes like conscience, dissent, and the search for peace in tumultuous times. The practical effects are minimal, as it primarily relies on archival footage and heartfelt interviews that draw you in. The performances, if you can call them that, come from real people sharing their truths, which adds a raw authenticity. It’s this distinctive blend of personal narrative and historical context that makes this film resonate.
