British media have reported that Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle are producing a war film for Netflix, based on the memoirs of a British officer from the Afghanistan war.
The report states that the film tells the story of a British military unit tasked with holding a district in Helmand province in July 2006, which then becomes the target of an attack by current government forces.
The film is titled “No Way Out: The True and Harrowing Account of Men Under Siege.” It is based on the memoirs of Major Adam Jowett.
Major Adam was the commander of that British military unit in Helmand.
Prince Harry served in the British Army for ten years before leaving and was deployed twice to frontline missions in Afghanistan.
In late 2007, Prince Harry went to Helmand for a ten-week mission. This secret mission ended earlier than scheduled after his presence was revealed online.
Upon Harry’s return from Afghanistan, British media bestowed titles upon him such as “the Warrior Prince,” “Brave Harry,” and “One of Our Boys.”
He then trained to return to Afghanistan and, after rigorous training in Britain and the U.S., became qualified as an Apache helicopter pilot.
In April 2011, he was promoted to Captain and received his Apache wings from his squadron commander.
Harry returned to Afghanistan again in September 2012. This mission lasted 20 weeks, allowing him to serve as a co-pilot and gunner in Apache helicopter operations.
Harry and Meghan Markle signed a more limited contract with Netflix last year. Under this agreement, Netflix has the first right to review projects from Archewell Productions, owned by Harry and Meghan.
