No Shots Fired

Film· 9 min

For years we were told to watch the east. We armed, we waited, we flew the flag – ready for an invasion from Russia. It never came. It never needed to. Because while we stared at the border, the factories, the harbours and the shops were being bought – quietly, one bargain at a time. No Shots Fired – the war we feared never came. The one we lost, we never even saw.
