War Letters (2014)

War Letters is a multi-screen film work, written by Kamila Shamsie. Wahid and Qasim are Indian Muslim soldiers fighting for Great Britain during World War 1. We follow their stories through the letters the young men write each other from the muddy trenches in France, military hospital in England, war prison in Mesopotamia and eventually back home in Punjab. War Letters is one part of Letters Home, a joint production of four short story adaptations by multi-award-winning site-specialists Grid Iron Theatre Company and the Edinburgh International Book Festival. It won the Scotsman Fringe First Award.
