Carthago internment prison Camp 1940s, Eritrea. Built by the British in the North African wilderness to imprison the most dangerous terrorists and freedom fighters caught within the boundaries of the crumbling British Empire.

Writer & actor Reshef Levi decided it was finally the right time to tell the story of his father and his friends. Detainees who never gave up on their desire to be free. This story tells how they survived the trials of life in Carthago. Most of them did everything they could to escape throughout their imprisonment, but the great distance from any settlement and the jungles that surrounded them posed an impossible barrier.

Cathago New Flagship series tragicomic;

 The series has a modern take on a classic 1940s film; the action takes place in a British built detention camp set in the remotest corner of the African wilderness. The series mixes suspense with wit as prisoners repeatedly try to break out of their inescapable hell, which they have been confined to.

Philip Glenister plays British commander, Lord Davidson;

Renowned British actor, Philip Glenister, star of (Life on Mars) brings a menacing upperclass superiority to the role.

 Philip Glenister and Shaun Paul McGrath both star as authoritative British commanders who help control the camp. Both are at loggerheads in terms of how the camp should be run; yet it is Davidson’s wife Helena, Played by French actress, Carolina Jurczak (Marseille) who seems to be pulling the strings, seemingly to help suit her own agenda as her ex-lover enters the camp. British/Nazi spy is played by English actor, Oliver Buckner, who helps bring an air of British nostalgia to the storyline, playing the subjugated, Thomas Edinburgh.

Officer MacDonald, played by Irish actor, Shaun Paul McGrath (The Widow’s moon) is the second in command at the Camp, second to Lord Davidson. Davidson ruthlessly controls those around him. His arrival with his wife Helena, has not been totally welcomed by the prisoners nor MacDonald. Glenister’s character lacks empathy for even the most weakest of beings. Davidson’s dearth morality is contrary to that of his second in command, MacDonald who has been in Carthago since the day the camp was built, he sees Davidson as someone who does not understand his style of running Carthago. Originally from Ireland. MacDonald suffers from PTSD, which leads him to be especially violent as he struggles to command control over the camp. He is notorious among the prisoners for his cruelty. Yet it is Davidson that supersedes this cruelty. Glenister plays a nonchalant intimidating attitude throughout and guts those to shreds who dare cross him. The story is a cross between (Inglorious Bastards) and (The Great Escape).
