Ex Brit Army Vet Tom Petch wrote and directed this competent low budget drama about a Brit troop serving in Afghanistan's dangerous Hermann Province fighting an 'invisible' army, the Teliban. Gritty and hard hitting this is a warts and all view of life on the front line, and certainly no advert for the M.O.D. The troop constantly complain about the poor equipment (armour, guns, radio etc) compared to that used by the US Forces" ("Why are our guns and radio's so crap Sarge?" "Because they never expected us to go to War")
A solid, and bleak drama looking at one of the most unenviable 'jobs' on earth.
