Silent Heroes (1987) - The First Falklands War Film?!

This week we dug into the archives and found a very rare British war film. 1987s 'Silent Heroes' appears to be the first British attempt at creating a film about the Falklands War, filmed for just £90,000. Directed by Richard Driscoll and staring Martin Aylott, Robert Wilford and Bob Flag. The straight-to-VHS film is a strange beast that seems to have both pro and anti-war themes and tries to come to terms with the conflict.
