The Taking of Prince Harry

Alexander Marengo / United Kingdom / 2010 / 75 min.


synopsis

FilmHOSTAGE starts when a British captain, son of the British successor to the throne is captured in Afghanistan. The starting point is real; prince Harry did his military service in Afghanistan. However, his capture by Taliban and the following negotiations of the top representatives of the military and the government are modelled by the docu-drama to show the background of the military mission and the local politics from a different point of view.
