Flight 149 Hostage of War unravels one of the Gulf War’s most controversial chapters. A British Airways flight lands in Kuwait just hours after Saddam Hussein’s invasion - trapping its passengers and crew in a warzone, where they become human shields in a rapidly escalating crisis that would reshape the Middle East. Told through a nonlinear, thriller-like structure, the film exposes a decades-long cover-up and brings the hostages’ fight for truth and justice into the light - after years of silence, gaslighting, and denials.

A staggering film… the goal of Jenny Ash’s documentary – much like the multi-Bafta-winning Mr Bates Vs the Post Office – is as much to entertain as to shine a light on what may be a colossal miscarriage of justice.
