Not sure if this should go in here, or in Tele Addicts given that BBC Learning are involved with the production. However there is a mention of possibly getting a cinema release, so in here will do I hope.
Not a review at this stage, as it is still in production... more a one to look out for, once it gets on a screen near you.
AWOL is currently in production, filming has taken place during October and November 2009 - See Production Map for locations.

"AWOL is the tough but tender story of three brothers, H, 18, unemployed and into petty crime, Casey, an innocent, warm hearted 15-year-old with learning difficulties and 10-month-old Severino. The film starts when social services split the family up after the death of their mother. Casey takes the only action open to him; he ?snatches? his baby brother and goes on the run in search of his estranged father in Inverness, forcing H to join him by posting H?s stash of illegally gained cash to a PO box there. Casey thinks that if he finds his dad everything will be alright. The police and social services think that Casey is a criminal. H thinks Casey is off his head but Casey thinks they should be a family."
The film will be extended by an online interactive ending feature via BBC Learning where viewers get to see what happens if different choices are made at key moments of H's (H is the oldest of the 3 brothers) life.
