Synopsis
Three ex-servicemen
return to Basra, each for a different reason. Occupation began
in 2003, in the back of an armoured personnel
carrier in Basra, as three soldiers – Hibbsy
the optimist, Danny the realist, and the melancholy Mike – headed
towards a violent encounter that would tie them all
to the conflict for the next five years. A saga
that started with light-hearted piss-taking and camaraderie ended, a gruelling three
hours (and two days) later, in silence and deep
sadness. |
