Tagged is playful, smart and engaging, stealthily tapping into the sense of deep unease that lurks beneath its subject's surface.

Children of Soldiers - At an age when they should be curious and carefree, the children of Canadian Forces Base Petawawa are often faced with grim reality. Day in-day out, they must deal with absence, an uncertain future and the looming perspective of death. But in a tight-knit military community, spontaneous expressions of anxiety, sadness or resentment are taboo. Shot over the course of an entire troop deployment to Afghanistan, this moving film lifts the veil on a reality shared by thousands of young Canadians.
