According to a news report in The Times, the Pakistan Army has hired Tom Delmer, stunt director of Mel Gibson's Oscar winning Braveheart to make a film in 11-part series called, Beyond the call of duty, Invincible Spirits, Immortal Souls. The series, already halfway through transmission, uses real soldiers and is based on true stories chosen by Brigadier Azmat Ali, the executive producer. The action centres on a helicopter commando operation in the mountain valley of Peochar in May 2009 when the army took on the Taliban, which had taken over the Swat region. Peochar was HQ to Maulana Fazlullah, the Taliban leader who was known as Radio Mullah for his fiery broadcasts. His men had blocked all the roads in and built a network of tunnels inside the mountains big enough to take lorries.
To catch them by surprise a brigade of commandos was dropped by helicopters onto 9,000 feet peaks. They managed to clear the area in an operation that won international acclaim.

The aim of the film is two fold, explained Major General Attar Abbas, the military spokesman. Part to bring the human face of the war to the public, showing them the sacrifices of soldiers and officers. The other objective is to highlight what happened to the people of Swat under Taliban rule.
The strongest public reaction has been to an episode called One Daughter, about an 18 year old girl who was kidnapped from Mingora and raped repeatedly by 40 Taliban. After three months she was married off to a 75 year old tribal elder and managed to run away. She was so traumatised that, even today if you bring her food, she removes her clothes.

That is the whole purpose of making this serial so as to project to the public that the militant game was not about bringing in Islamic Sharia Laws but to grab power and money.
