Editor's note: Military Times will spotlight a group of GI Film Festival selections regularly in the run-up to the festival.

The Category: Warriors Around the World

The Films: "The Last Ring Home," "Medic," "The Space," "Who Sank Your Ships?"

The Breakdown: Four short films representing four nations span multiple conflicts to tell war stories -- fiction and nonfiction alike -- from new, often unfamiliar perspectives.

  • "The Last Ring Home" investigates how the Naval Academy ring belonging to a World War II prisoner of war in the Philippines ends up in Korea years later, and how that officer's grandson tracks the jewelry's journey to uncover his family history.
  • "Medic" joins a privileged young woman, sentenced to perform community service, who meets up with a combat veteran also looking to turn his life around.
  • "The Space" follows a young British soldier who relies on advice from a medic to cope with the loss of a friend in combat in Afghanistan.
  • "Who Sank Your Ships?" joins a young Israeli army photographer on what becomes a nighttime mission of romance.
