“Based on the true story of the 1961 Siege of Jadotville this debut feature is a stunning statement of intent from director Richie Smyth and a riveting retelling of one of the greatest stories of survival and heroism in 20th century military history.”
Agripping true story of incredible bravery against impossible odds,
Jadotville thrillingly depicts the 1961 siege of a 150-strong Irish UN battalion under Commander Patrick Quinlan (Jamie Dornan) by 3,000 Conoglese troops led by French and Belgian mercenaries working for mining companies. Guillaume Canet plays a French commander who sought to defeat Quinlan and his men.
