Dreams of war, dreams of liars

Based on the 2000 K-141 Kursk submarine disaster, in which 118 Russian sailors died. I feel a little unase watching filmings of events where you know the tragic outcome. It's too near in the past, you remember how it happened and unfolded. The other recent deadly tragedies such as 9/11, The Indian Ocean tsunami, Gulf War, and what have you, beneath the chaos, there was also slivers of uplifting, heroic moments, but Kursk has none, it's a hopeless abyss.
