The inspirational story of friendship, love, and support on the home front. A group of women come together as their partners serve in Afghanistan.

Together they form the very first military wives choir, helping each other through some of life’s most difficult moments and also becoming a media sensation and global movement in the process.

All screenings take place on Tuesday 18th February at 7pm at 15 Showcase Cinema sites across the UK – Bluewater, Bristol CDL, Cardiff, Coventry, Derby CDL, Glasgow, Leeds, Leicester CDL, Liverpool, Manchester, Nottingham, Reading, Southampton, Teesside and Walsall.

Tickets are available on a first-come first served basis and can be booked online with no payment required.

We got to know some very courageous and candid military wives and the personal stories they shared were humbling.”

“As I started meeting real military wives, rich themes soon showed themselves: a fragmented group of people finding unity and camaraderie through song; women who are expected to “keep quiet and carry on” finding their voices.” Said Cattaneo.

“We got to know some very courageous and candid military wives and the personal stories they shared were humbling, sometimes harrowing, often hilarious.

“I was struck by their honest, down to earth sense of humour and I was determined to fill the film with this kind of comedy.”


Military Wives is released in the United Kingdom on Friday 6th March 2020.
