"THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS YOU'RE AFRAID"

"The Only One Who Knows You're Afraid" is the fourth professional production and second feature film produced by DeCantillon Films with Gaffer Tape Productions, in association with North Yorkshire County Council and Harrogate Youth Council, with the assistance of La Commune de Mesquer-Quimiac and the Parc Naturel Regional de Briere.

The film is a World War Two drama directed by Timothy Reynard and produced by Harvey Ascott and Reynard with Alistair Hall and the Mann Family and written by Reynard and Oliver Welsh. The production's working title was Love Equals War.

Michael Chaplin ("Monarch of the Glen", "Foyle's War", "Robin Hood") worked on the project as Special Guest Script Consultant alongside Historical Adviser, James G. Dorrian who recently worked as Jeremy Clarkson's consultant on his documentary about the Saint Nazaire Raid. Major General Corran Purdon and Colonel Tom Sherman helped with the screenwriters as consultants having been two of the men who actually fought in the Raid.

SYNOPSIS:

Five commandos escaped the clutches of the Germans after the Raid of Saint Nazaire in March 1942. This drama is the tale of two of those brave men who were taken in and protected by a couple in the French Resistance after their escape. Timothy Reynard presents a fictionalised account of a stunning true story from the Second World War.
