- Synopsis:
Desperate diplomacy, conscience-racking decisions and an inspirational eve-of-battle speech in the countdown to war in Iraq. Kenneth Branagh, Toby Jones, Juliet Stevenson, Art Malik and Stephen Rea head an all-star cast in a gripping drama set in the build up to war in Iraq. Part thriller, part political drama, all based on documented evidence and original research, the film takes the viewer to worlds the news cameras couldn't reach - the UN, the Military, the Foreign Office and, of course, Iraq on the eve of war. As the countdown to conflict begins, the story moves from a lawyer in the Foreign Office unable to agree to the legality of the war, to a meeting to form a govemment-in-waiting in the hills of Northern Iraq, to the bitter lobbying for a second resolution at the UN. Witness the despair of Weapons Inspectors in Iraq and the battle for hearts and minds among young British Muslims and MPs torn by crises of conscience, until finally, on the eve of the war, we watch Colonel Tim Collins rally his troops with a speech that comes to be celebrated round the world... - Actors:
