On January 24, 2012, the film was announced as one of the five nominees for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.〔(“British Team Behind 'Hell And Back Again' Ready For Oscar Night After Best Documentary Nomination,” Huffington Post )〕 ==Background== Director Dennis worked as a war photographer in Afghanistan beginning in 2006, however, he became increasingly frustrated with photojournalism. He switched to films and new media to try to "shake people from their indifference to (Afghanistan ) war" and to present a "brutally honest experience of war". Dennis already had begun filming for some time when he was given the opportunity in July 2009 to spend four weeks with the U.S. Marines Echo Company, 2nd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment. The unit took part in Operation ''Khanjar'', the then-largest air operation since the Vietnam War. On the first day with the Marines, he met Nathan Harris when, despite the high temperatures, Harris gave him his last bottle of water.〔Hell and Back Again: (''Press Notes'' ) (PDF; 867 kB), accessed August 14, 2013〕 At first, the film was only focused on the situation in Afghanistan and was going to be titled ''Battle for Hearts and Minds''. Parts of the former film material were used for the segment "Obama's War" in the documentary series ''Frontline''. Dennis decided seven months later that Harris to be the person around whom the documentary would revolve. At the Marines' homecoming, Harris did not get off the bus, at which point Dennis learned Harris had been wounded.〔Lauren Feeney: (''Hell and Back Again: Telling True Stories of War'' ), February 24, 2012, accessed August 14, 2013〕 He made contact with Harris after this and invited Dennis to his home. Dennis spent a total of a year with Harris and his wife.〔Michael Kamber: (''Hell and Back Again'' ), The New York Times: Lens, September 27, 2011, accessed August 14, 2013〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hell and Back Again」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
