The story revolves around the Congo in the early 1960s. The garrison led by Irish commander Pat Quinlan will face the invasion of mercenaries sent by France and Belgium.
The siege of Jadotville is described as a geopolitical action thriller. After 1961, when 150 Irish troops were besieged by the United Nations in Congo, led by Commandant Pat Quinlan, the pro-Western leader Moise Tshombe took control of the Congolese leader Patrice Lumumba in the Katanga region. Quinlan and his troops insisted that the Resistance 3000 local troops were worked by French and Belgian mercenary mining companies. Dornan will play Captain Pat Quinlan, an Irishman who leads the UN forces.
South Africa’s involvement in this subject must be quality assurance, at least in terms of weapon details. Whether it is an Irish peacekeeping force or a private mercenary, the equipment on both sides is remarkable, very characteristic of the times, and there is no “cross-age” at all. "Black technology" appeared.
