March 2003. In New York, American and British diplomats are working feverishly to round up the necessary votes for a second UN resolution that would legitimize a war against Iraq. In London, a veteran jurist quits her job at the Foreign Office, because she cannot in good conscience support a breach of law in case of a war. At the border between Kuwait and Iraq, a colonel of the Irish army (Kenneth Branagh) gives a blazing battle speech to his soldiers. The BBC series "10 Days to War" reenacts real events that occurred in the ten days before the start of the Second Gulf War. In only 12 minutes, in a mix of political drama and thriller, every episode delivers a captivating account of the small and bigger stories behind the scenes of major global politics.
