In 2006, 3 soldiers from the British Army's 3rd Battalion set out across the Kajaki Dam in Afghanistan during a patrol, but they are blindsided when one of their team accidentally steps on an unmarked landmine and loses his leg. His comrades rush to his aid, comforting him all the while, before realising their desperate position. The Taliban are no longer their only danger; they have found themselves in a minefield from the Russian invasion in the 80s making it impossible to move from their positions without imminent danger. All they can hope for is helicopter rescue, but with the sun bearing down upon them and enemies surrounding the area, they only have each other to rely on to make it through the long hours ahead.

'Kajaki' is the gripping and tragic true story of the heroism of a small group of British soldiers who risked their lives for each other. It has been directed by Paul Katis and written by Tom Williams ('Chalet Girl'), and has already received a BAFTA nomination for Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer. Some of the release profits will be donated to Help for Heroes, The Royal British Legion, Walking With the Wounded and The Hashemite Commission for Disabled Soldiers, and it is set for release on DVD, Blu-Ray and VOD on June 8th 2015.
