Pilgrims Group’s William Freear (left) escorts Tom Hardy and Olly Williams ‘in country’ in Afghanistan, researching for the future film project Samarkand —
Hardy recently visited the country with scriptwriter/producer Olly Williams to research a new feature film entitled Samarkand which documents the traumas of a Special Forces soldier returning from service in the territory.
Hardy and Williams’ main aim was to experience at first hand the harsh reality of life in an environment where terrorism is an ever-present threat, and to visit places usually off limits to ordinary travellers.
