When Nathan Harris joined the US Marines at the age of 18, all he wanted to do was kill people. Now 26 and on his third deployment, he is leading a group of soldiers on the Afghanistan frontline. They daily do battle with the invisible Taliban, whilst wreaking havoc with the lives of Afghan villagers. Acclaimed war photographer Danfung Dennis is embedded with the troops, using innovative camera techniques to capture the often harrowing action. After Harris is badly injured and sent home, he must play “a whole lot of wait and see” to try to overcome his injury, as well as battling a nascent addiction to painkillers. By intercutting two overlapping narratives shifting between the twin hells of Afghanistan and American suburbia, Dennis tells a mesmerising story of one man and his demons on and off the battleground.

It is the summer of 1976, the hottest summer in living memory, and keen drama teacher Vivienne fights sweltering heat and general teenage apathy to put on a school musical of her version of Shakespeare's 'The Tempest'. To get the kids engaged, she weaves the play around their favourite pop songs, using the hits of the day by artists as diverse as David Bowie, Lou Reed, The Beach Boys, Simon and Garfunkel, Dusty Springfield and Electric Light Orchestra. The music is sung and performed by a fresh and enormously talented group of young actors led by rising star Aneurin Barnard. The result is a film that is in turn touching, life affirming, funny and nostalgic, and a love letter to the music of the period.
