The Fallen

An amazing achievement and a beautiful film
an extraordinary, ambitious and very human piece of work
The Guardian

A powerful and poignant film in which families and friends of those who have died fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq talk openly about their loved ones and their grief. Epic in scale and spanning seven years of war, this landmark three-hour film gives a rare insight into the personal impact and legacy of this loss.

BDH animated every name of the The Fallen, creating a separate title for each serviceman and woman who has died while serving with the British Armed Forces in Afghanistan and Iraq since 2001.

The film made by acclaimed filmmaker Morgan Matthews, takes us across Britain and into the homes of those who have lost loved ones. The film also uses cherished personal home movie footage featuring those who have died as well as archive footage, leaving a lasting impression of their lives both inside and out of the armed forces.

As comprehensive and moving an analysis of grief as has been assembled in recent times

Id be astonished if we see a more moving film this year, or next

One day all men and women will put down the guns and never kill and be killed again

there is a way....

[5random1]

Walls cannot keep someone in, or someone out,

or hold names of those who will never hold us,

or we can never hold again

no more wars

no more walls
