Aroview: Filmed on location in Greece, this star-powered version of Euripedes play is a patchy but earnest attempt to convey the power of the classical text.

Set in the aftermath of the Trojan War, it depicts the awfulness of a society's destruction, as the women of Troy are organised for forced marriage, slavery and exile by the conquering Greek army.
