This week we dug into the archives and found a very rare British war film. 1987s ‘Silent Heroes‘ appears to be the first British attempt at creating a film about the Falklands War, filmed for just £90,000. Directed by Richard Driscoll and staring Martin Aylott, Robert Wilford and Bob Flag. The straight-to-VHS film is a strange beast that seems to have both pro and anti-war themes and tries to come to terms with the conflict. Strap in and join us as we try to explain this one!
The episode is also available on all other podcast platforms, you can find them here.
Here are some stills from the film:
