As we approach August, 2014, and the establishment prepares to attempt to showcase that Bloody imperialist land grab, known as WW1, as some sort of heroic defence of a none existent democracy, we have to do all we can to tell the truth about the biggest unnecessary blood letting in modern history.

The film, King and Country, based on a novel by James Lansdale Hodson. tells the story of one young man, the last man left of his entire company. He decides to walk away, but is caught, and to set an example to others, he is shot at dawn for desertion.
