Netflix's Chief Content Officer, Ted Sarandos, said: "The story of how Pat Quinlan led his troops against an overwhelming force without losing a single man is one of the great stories of the 20th century, and we are proud to be working with such a talented and committed team to bring it to life. "This film will be an amazing addition to our global original films initiative." Production on Jadotville will begin in Ireland and South Africa in April.
