The Siege of Jadotville is being described as an “action thriller which centres around the siege of 150 UN Irish troops led by Commandant Pat Quinlan in the Congo in 1961”
“What happened next was a scene of extraordinary bravery and saw Quinlan and his troops hold out against a force of 3000 local troops led by French and Belgian Mercenaries.”
Jamie will play Commandant Pat Quinlan, the Irishman who led the UN battalion.
