BBC – 10 Days To War: The Miniseries (2008)
English | Documentary | Size: 2.64 GB
A series of eight dramas to mark the fifth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. Kenneth Branagh, Toby Jones, Juliet Stevenson, Art Malik and Stephen Rea head an all-star cast in a series of gripping short dramas about the countdown to war in Iraq. Each drama focuses on a real event that happened exactly five years ago to the day.
10 Days to War was a series of eight BBC Two TV dramas commissioned by the ‘Newsnight’ programme to mark the fifth anniversary of the start of the Iraq war, and were screened on consecutive nights ahead of Newsnight. Each episode dramatically tell a story that urgently came into focus on that very day five years ago and the issues raised by the films were discussed on Newsnight.
On 20 March 2003, the UK and US went to war. Thousands of Iraqis died, millions were displaced, and cities were practically destroyed. But why and how? Now a groundbreaking drama goes behind scenes of the countdown to the Iraq war.
Part thriller, part political drama, 10 Days to War has a relentless ticking-clock intensity, with all events unfolding in real-time. From Tony Blair selling the idea of the war to his sceptical party and cynical public and the American marketing of Ahmed Chalabi as the ‘George Washington of Iraq’ to the shock and awe of the first strike, this distinctive and compelling film lifts the lid on the back-room bullying and gripping human dramas played out privately in the corridors of power.
Each drama focuses on separate events in the lead up to the war – concerns at the Foreign Office, Parliament’s vote on military action, the search for ‘weapons of mass destruction’ – with each played out in real time. 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. The dramas combine to provide a telling snapshot of the behind-the-scenes manoeuvring that took place in political arenas around the globe at the time, while also highlighting the more basic human emotions of those caught up in the unfolding events.
Episodes comprise: ‘A Simple Private Matter’, ‘$100 Coffee’, ‘These Things Are Always Chaos’, ‘Why This Rush?’, ‘Blowback’, ‘Fear On the Ground’, ‘Failure Is Not an Option’ and ‘Our Business Is North’.
Series written by Ronan Bennett ; Directed by Bruce Goodison and David Belton
