In 'Warfare,' a raw and emotionally charged war film co-directed by former Navy SEAL Ray Mendoza and filmmaker Alex Garland, the battlefield is only the beginning. The film, released by A24, reconstructs a 2006 mission in Ramadi, Iraq, in meticulous detail — not just as a cinematic feat, but as an act of remembrance, trauma recovery, and tribute.
For Mendoza, it's deeply personal. For D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, the rising Canadian actor known for 'Reservation Dogs,' it's a performance rooted in reverence.
