A team of British mine clearance engineers are working for the Taliban government in the scorching deserts of Southern Afghanistan. One of the team, Richard Lee, falls foul of the corrupt local police chief, Ashiq Khan, who instigates a manhunt to find and kill the infidel. Alone, Richard must escape on foot across the border into nearby Pakistan, through hostile terrain, but during his journey he is ambushed by a force of rebel guerrillas, enemies of the government, who agree to help him flee the vengeful Taliban.

Kandahar Break is is the feature debut of writer-director David Whitney and stars Shaun Dooley, Dean Andrews, Rasheed Naz and Tatmain Ul Qulb. The film's story and action mirrors the constant danger the crew faced while filming and the complex nature of the Afghan conflict. Shot in HD on the Pakistan border with Afghanistan in high-risk territories controlled by Taliban tribes, the making of the film was an adventure in itself, which almost came to a tragic end with the shooting of four Pakistani members of the film crew by the Taliban.

Kandahar Break will be released in the UK in selected cinemas on 10th September 2010 and on DVD (£14.99) and Blu-ray (£15.99) on 13th September. The film will also be available for digital download through from iTunes, Love Film, Playstation and Sky VOD. Details of extras have yet to be confirmed.
