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.
