Attack On The Islanders - An Ungentlemanly Act

An Ungentlemanly Act was filmed in the Falklands and details the first hours of the Falklands War, when Argentine invaders turned the islands into a battlefield. This scene captures the first attack on the islanders.
In the tiny Falkland Islands, April 1, 1982 started normally enough, but before midnight, an old conflict had exploded and enemy soldiers were creeping ashore. This award winning drama takes a wry look at the first hours of the Falklands War. Ian Richardson is Sir Rex Hunt, unflappable governor of the islands, determined to defend his office and Bob Peck is Major Mike Norman, who faces the Argentinean invaders with a handful of gutsy Royal Marines. Filmed in the Falklands, this extraordinary drama captures the courage (and absurd black humour) that occur when a small corner of the world suddenly becomes a battlefield.
