Details

Like every mother Gill wants the best for her sons. Raise them well, keep them safe, clean and out of trouble. But for Michael and Chris the choices are few and far between. The only way to have the best is to be the best - join the army. As the brutal business of war unfolds, the boys become men their mother doesn't recognise and maternal love is put to a gruelling test. Glued to the news and linked from their sofas to the battlefield by satellite, the mothers join forces. As the body count rises they find a political voice that is hard to hear but impossible to ignore.
