Plot

In 1961, the Congo was on the brink of civil war. Worried about a humanitarian disaster, the UN sends a peacekeeping force to protect the small village of Jadotville. When a local warlord recruits hundreds of French and Belgian mercenaries, it's a show of provocation that can only end one way. It comes down to a squad of Irish peacekeepers to protect the area against a full onslaught of mercenary forces. They have no side in the civil war, but they've committed themselves to protecting the village at all costs. If they're lucky, help will arrive, but there's no promise of that.
