Private Peaceful

The story of the unbreakable bond between two brothers from their childhood in rural Devon to the battle fields of the First World War, based on the best-selling novel by author Michael Morpurgo ("War Horse"). When young Tommo Peaceful (George MacKay) volunteers to fight, his protective older brother, Charlie (Jack O'Connell), follows him to Flanders. But it is here that both experience the brutal nature of war, far removed from family life and their rivalry for the love of Molly Monks (Alexandra Roach). Featuring an all-star British cast including the late Richard Griffiths in his final film, Frances de la Tour, John Lynch, and Maxine Peake, "Private Peaceful' is a searingly powerful and emotional tale of adolescence, heroism and fierce family loyalties which would never be broken.
