More than 60 films, produced by the NATO and other 24 countries were presented at the film festival.
According to an ISPR press release, Glorious Resolve received the Jury's Special award from the President of the Italian Senate.
"(It is) a technically outstanding and emotionally powerful dramatization of the story of the courageous soldiers under fire in a dire combat situation," the President said.
The award was received by a representative of the Pakistani Embassy in Rome.
Glorious Resolve is based on a true story about the infantry soldiers “who fought against all odds when 1500 miscreants raided one of the section level outpost of an Infantry Battalion in South Waziristan Agency on the night of 29 May 2009.”
The documentary highlights “not only the sacrifices and achievements of the Pakistan Army in War against Terrorism but also its glorious resolve to uproot the menace of terrorism from Pakistan.”
Glorious Resolve recreates the sacrifice of 43 soldiers of the Punjab Regiment who laid their lives during the attack.

"The Great Escape" --- story of how a handful of 'miscreants' raided PNS Mehran, destroyed to P3C Orion aircrafts, and then slipped away quietly while the "Gloriously Resolved" army were busy making the movie!
@American Desi: Aren't they fighting them in reality too?
Many congratulations on this great achievement. May all success them in all sphere of life and achievement.
"miscreants"
The word sounds weird and even antiquated but is actually the correct usage of the word by the Pak Army.
One of the meanings of the word is: "holding a false or unorthodox religious belief; heretical. "
And I think that the people the Pakistan Army and government is forced to fight definitely fit that description.
Pakistani soldiers are best and bravest, the problem is at the top.
I love my pak army. it is my proud.Pak Army Zinda Bad.
@Mohammad junaid: (Pakistan army is the best , “Death before Disgrace”) @Ammar Hussain: "Pak. Army is best. They Do before die pakistan zindabad pak army paindabad"
Of course no mention of Paltan Maidan Dacca 1971, General Niazi, General Arora. It is all "enemy propaganda." We won that war, ask any "official" historian at GHQ, Radio Pakistan, PTV or Jang news paper!
they are really good at film idea, film developing, film making, and filming :) in addition to DHA etc.
@ T Khan Well done. Good job.
Is it time to release documentary about 1971 campaign? Or may be not!
keeping aside all the dislikes, arguments etc, well done to the director and thumbs up for Pakistan Army. Any positive news about Pakistan fills my heart with joy and happiness and this is one such news. The controversies about the direction of this movie can't overshadow the happiness i felt after reading this news.
@Sum ting wong: Bollywould can do that to ya!
It is very normal for people to love fiction.
Pak Army has abandoned FATA to militants and is now seeking peace with them.
Its directed by Sarosh Kiyani who is the son of Gen. Ashfaq Kiyani.. dislike!
Pak army zindabad
I am a proud Pakistani that we have an Army which cannot be matched with any other army in the world. This is one of the reasons that many countries send their soldiers to Pakistan to get them trained in a real professional manner. The sacrifices made by our Army Jawans will always be remembered by the nation. Thank you Pakistan Army. It is only because of you people that we sleep comfortably in the cities while the Jawans of Pakistan Army and other armed forces stand alert to safe guard the country. I salute you, my dear Jawans of Pakistan Army and personnel of Navy and Air Force.
Long live Pakistan army. Down with traitors and other anti Pakistan elements.
Yeah right 1500. And what about the 6 militants who wreaked havoc on GHQ and PNS Mehran? Any takers for that Pak Army?
Pak. Army is best. They Do before die pakistan zindabad pak army paindabad
miscreants
The same term they used for East Pakistanis fighting for their rights!
Pakistan army is the best , "Death before Disgrace"
Showing the resolve to fight the terrorists is easier than havig a resolve to fight them in reality.
1500 "miscreants" LOL !
