For producers

Why it works on screen

True story. Based on the author’s Great Uncle Walter and extensive research.
A proven opening. The raid on St Nazaire is one of the most dramatic actions of the war and has rarely been told on screen.
A new angle. Most accounts end when the raid ends. This one follows the men who were captured.
Clear structure. Raid, capture, camps, tunnelling and escape, with a love story running through it.
Comparable titles. The Great Escape, Unbroken, The Railway Man, The Tattooist of Auschwitz.
