Nesbitt in Occupation |
|
‘Occupation’, a new three part drama serial begins on BBC One Tuesday 9th of June. Shot on location in Northern Ireland and Iraq in 2008, the drama stars NI actor James Nesbitt (Five Minutes of Heaven, Bloody Sunday), Stephen Graham (The Damned United, This is England) and Warren Brown (Hollyoaks, Shameless).
Written by Peter Bowker (Flesh And Blood, Canterbury Tales) and directed by Nick Murphy (Surviving Disaster, Heroes & Villains), ‘Occupation’ races the lives of three British soldiers and spans the five years following the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Their fates – and the destiny of Iraq itself – become inextricably linked and, united in war, the three men, and their friendships, are torn apart during the peace that follows.
‘Occupation’ is executive produced by Derek Wax for Kudos Film and TV and Patrick Spence for BBC Northern Ireland. The project received backing from the Northern Ireland Screen Fund supported by Invest NI.
