Afghanistan

2012, 100 minutes

Depicting the Afghan War through the eyes of British soldiers.

The film dramatises the realities of warfare that documentaries have so far not been able to portray, depicting the Afghan War through the eyes of British soldiers. The story takes place over a week in which an exhausted British patrol, low on ammunition, fight alongside the Afghan Army against the Taliban. The script is meticulously researched: language, equipment and tactics, and even the problems facing the patrol are drawn directly from real accounts of British Army experiences in Afghanistan.
