Synopsis:

A powerful new three-part drama serial by Peter Bowker, traces the lives of three British soldiers from the invasion of Basra in March 2003 to the present. Occupation is inspired by factual research, and reveals how the lives of three British men are shaped and transformed by their experiences in Iraq. The drama is set in Basra and explores the personal journeys of three friends from the same regiment, and how they are inspired to return to Basra for different reasons - one for financial gain, one for love, and the third because of his belief in the mission to rebuild the country. Bowker's drama explores how their different dreams come to define not just their lives but the war and the occupation itself. The drama is set against the backdrop of growing sectarian conflict in Iraq, awash with billions of dollars from the US, creating a boom time for private military companies.
