Written and directed by former soldier, Tom Petch, 'The Patrol' provides the antidote to the war action film. A psychological drama, the film explores the relationhips between a group of British soldier as they grow disillusioned with the Afghan war.
In 2006 the UK Minter of Defence announced the deployment of British Troops to Helmand Province, Afghanistan, saying: 'We would be happy to leave Afghanistan without firing a single shot'. 'The Patrol' features a British Army Operational Mentor and Liaison Team supporting this NATO led operation. As the scale of the Taliban inurgency dawn on the soldier, problems with their operation cause the men to question their role in the war.
