Journey's End 12A

A piercing adaptation of R.C. Sheriff’s seminal 1928 anti-war play. Set in the unforgiving trenches of WW1, this classic play is retold with sensitivity: a moving film that never shies away from the personal, emotional cost of war. A weathered Captain Stanhope finds himself at a loss when Lieutenant Raleigh - brother of his beloved Margaret joins him on the front lines. Raleigh – initially excited to be joining Stanhope – finds himself confronted with horror by a man made unrecognisable by the trauma of war.
