Why watch this film?

Despite the historic Battle of Dunkirk already having been immortalized by filmmaker Christopher Nolan in his memorable 'Dunkirk', there are still many other perspectives to be explored and told in cinemas. One example is the war drama 'Behind the Line: Escape to Dunkirk', which follows the drama of a group of British soldiers who are captured by German soldiers. Urgent, desperate and well-directed, the feature film brings a different look to the traditional battle, with equal doses of drama and action. Good movie for those who enjoy the energy of 'Dunkirk' and the drama of 'Anna's War'.
