The Trench

On the eve of the 1916 Battle of the Somme, the worst defeat in British military history, a group of young soldiers confined to the front line experiences a mixture of boredom, fear, panic and restlessness as they await battle. At the center of the troops are 17-year-old Billy (Paul Nicholls) and his older brother, Eddie (Tam Williams), who, like their fellow squadron members, are just boys dressed as men … and they all face an equal fate.
