Britz (2007)

The Government Inspector (2005)
Mark Rylance, the award-winning stage and screen actor and artistic director of the Globe Theatre, takes the role of Dr Kelly, the Government Inspector. From the producers of Holy Cross and Channel 4's The Hamburg Cell, The Government Inspector is based on extensive original research and was written and directed by Bafta-winning Peter Kosminsky. David Kelly was one of the government's foremost experts on Weapons of Mass Destruction. The drama depicts Dr Kelly's time as a United Nations weapons inspector in Iraq in the 1990s and through the frenetic weeks and months in which the Blair government attempted to persuade a doubting nation of its case for war. The drama charts David Kelly's own journey from behind-the-scenes expert to man exposed to a media onslaught as he himself became a weapon deployed by all sides in their respective battles for survival.

The Promise (2010)
Claire Foy (Little Dorrit) and Christian Cooke (Cemetery Junction) lead an international cast, including Itay Tiran (Lebanon), Haaz Sleiman (The Visitor), Ali Sulaiman (Paradise Now) and Perdita Weeks (Lost in Austen), in Peter Kosminsky's new four-part drama serial. Just as 18-year-old Londoner Erin (Foy) sets off to spend summer in Israel with her best friend, Eliza (Weeks), she unearths an old diary belonging to her seriously ill grandfather, Len (Cooke). Intrigued by the life of this old man she barely knows, she takes the diary with her, and is stunned to learn of his part in the post-WWII British peace-keeping force in what was then Palestine. Left to her own devices when Eliza begins National Service in the Israeli army, Erin witnesses the complexities of life - for both Jews and Arabs - in this troubled land. And as Len's story comes to life from the pages of the diary, Erin discovers the disturbing truths about his time in Palestine and the atrocities he witnessed in the 1940s. Retracing Len's steps in modern-day Israel, Erin sets out on a heart-breaking journey in an effort to understand...

Britz (2007)
From BAFTA-winning writer & director, Peter Kosminsky, comes a gritty and unflinching contemporary thriller about a young brother and sister, both British-born and Muslim, both pulled in radically different directions by their conflicting personal experiences in post 9/11 Britain. Riz Ahmed (The Road to Guantanamo) and Manjinder Virk (Bradford Riots) play brother and sister Sohail and Nasima. Sohail is an ambitious law undergraduate who signs up with MI5 and, eager to play a part in protecting British security, begins an investigation into a terrorist cell. The enquiry soon leads him back to his community in Bradford where no one, not even his closest friends, are above suspicion. Unsure if he is being used by the establishment, he is soon forced to question where his loyalties really lie; with his family and friends or the country of his birth, Britain. His sister Nasima is a medical student in Leeds who becomes increasingly alienated and angered by Britain's foreign and domestic policy after witnessing at first hand the relentless targeting of her Muslim neighbours and peers. When her best-friend falls foul of the Government's anti-terror legislation Nasima is soon forced to confront her liberal views and, disillusioned by the political process, embarks on a dangerous path that finally takes her to a terrorist training camp in North West Pakistan. With action set in Pakistan, Eastern Europe, London and Leeds, the story is told in two parts with both feature-length episodes finally colliding in a gripping finale. BRITZ is an extraordinary thriller that ultimately asks whether the laws we think are making us safer, are actually putting us in greater danger.
