Based on true-life events, this 90-minute, Jimmy McGovern drama is a moving portrayal of grieving parents - Reg and Sally - whose son, L/Cpl Tom Keys was one of six military policemen killed by a mob in the Southern Iraqi, Shia city of Majar-al-Kabir in June 2003.
Convinced - as many were at the time - that :Britain:'s Armed Forces had been led into the Iraq War under false pretences ... Reg forms a pressure group, 'Military Families Against War' - opposed to the conflict - and decides to stand against the then Prime Minister, Tony Blair in his home constituency of Sedgefield during the 2005 General Election.

Now ... :anerikke: ... of course, we all know that Bliar was re~elected. But, notwithstanding the outcome, this hard~hitting drama is testament to one father's dogged determination to seek justice on his son's behalf! :xxgrinning--00xx3:
