CMM Productions (Malta), Hal Far Airfield, short documentary, traces the history of Hal Far Airfield. The film is impeccably researched and includes extensive original war time footage combined with re-enactments of Maltese Army Regiments and the British Royal Air Force. The Airfield’s location on Malta was of great strategic importance in the Mediterranean and during WWII it was one of the main targets of the Axis which dropped thousands of bombs yet never managed to close Hal Far Airfield. This carefully crafted, informative documentary was created by master filmmakers Chris and Maurice Micallef. It deserves a wide audience.
