On the night of 1 April 1982, 2,000 Argentinian troops land on the Falkland Islands. The Governor and the few dozen Royal Marines stationed there have been told of an Argentine invasion only hours before.
Some islanders still think it is an April Fool prank.
Producer Bradley Adams describes this drama as a "human story of war.... For the residents of the Falkland Islands, it was like having a war in their back garden."
