Directed by Hannah Lowes, Helmand: A Frontline Story (w/t), a PASSION PICTURES and Kailash Films production has been announced today by the BBC at Sheffield Documentary Festival.

Co-Executive Producers are Gwenllian Hughes and Hamish Fergusson and the Director is Hannah Lowes.

Marking the ten year anniversary of the withdrawal of frontline British troops from Afghanistan, this 75 minute film, commissioned by BBC Factual and BBC Cymru Wales and directed by Hannah Lowes is a co-production between Passion Pictures and Kailash Films.

It tells the story of a group of soldiers from the Welsh Guards Regiment during a brutally demanding six month tour of Helmand Province in 2009. During the course of the deployment the regiment suffered an extraordinary number of casualties, including losing their Commanding Officer, the most senior ranking member of the British Army to be killed in action since the Falklands War.

Director Hannah Lowes says: “I’ve always wanted to find a story to explore about war as it’s such an extreme experience and hence tells us so much about the minds and characters of those who have to live through it. The narrow focus of this film on those characters has offered a unique opportunity to do that. I was also immediately excited about including the voices of women who have lived that tour day by day and in the years since alongside the soldiers, to survey the full impact of conflict on the home front as well as in theatre.”

PASSION PICTURES production Wilding, based on Isabella Tree’s best-selling book about rewilding experiment Knepp is in cinemas now.

Wilding tells the story of a young couple that bets on nature for the future of their failing, four-hundred-year-old estate. The young couple battles entrenched tradition, and dares to place the fate of their farm in the hands of nature. Ripping down the fences, they set the land back to the wild and entrust its recovery to a motley mix of animals both tame and wild. It is the beginning of a grand experiment that will become one of the most significant rewilding experiments in Europe.
