| Synopsis: | Set during the first phase of the Iraq conflict in 2003, this deals emphatically with the business of being holed up in the desert as an embed. "Blue on blue" signifies a "friendly fire" incident - and the four reporters we see confined to an Army media base outside Basra are caught in the crossfire between their editors' ceaseless demands and the sly obstructions of the Army's PR machine. The "enemy", as such, is miles away. Jude , a conflict-zone veteran, is slowly going out of her mind waiting for the career lifeline of a scoop. Dominic Cavendish, Daily Telegraph | |||||
