Kajaki (2014)

In the heat of September 2006, a trio of British Paras, brothers in arms, embark on a perilous patrol from their strategic outpost, perched above the formidable Kajaki Dam in the rugged terrain of southern Afghanistan. Their mission: to engage the ever-looming shadow of the Taliban. As they traverse the sun-scorched and desolate expanse of a dried-out river bed, an unforeseen catastrophe strikes when one soldier steps on a forgotten relic of warfare - a Russian mine, its deadly purpose undiminished, despite having been laid a quarter of a century prior. Suddenly, their battle for survival intensifies. Their comradeship becomes their lifeline as they find themselves entrapped in a merciless minefield, a deadly chessboard left behind from a bygone conflict. Every footfall, every breath, every heartbeat teeters on the edge of causing serious injury or summoning death. Their courage is pitted against an unseen enemy that lies dormant beneath the sand, ready to claim their lives with one false step. Produced by the acclaimed talent behind the Academy Award-winning "The King's Speech," this BAFTA-nominated thriller is a testament to the unbreakable bonds of brotherhood and valor. "Kajaki" is a gripping recounting of a true story, a pulse-pounding tale of brave young soldiers fighting not for glory, but for each other - in a battlefield where every step, every decision, could mark the thin line between life and death.
