3 part series marking the ten-year anniversary of the war in Afghanistan, telling the story of the conflict through the words and pictures of the young soldiers themselves

Episode 1 - Ambushed

This opening part of the series tells the story of a close-knit group of friends from 3 Platoon, 1st Battalion Royal Anglian regiment, who were sent to Helmand province in 2007. For most of them it was their first experience of war. The whole tour was filmed on a helmet camera by the platoon's sergeant, who captured the moment when one of his men, 19-year-old Private Chris Gray, was killed in a Taliban ambush. The film explores the effects of his death on both his mates in the platoon and his family back in the UK.

  • @studmalexy YES! I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE TO KNOW THE TRUTH!

  • BBC LIE.

    911 WAS AN INSIDE JOB.

  • Chris Grays parents are fucking stupid

    its no bloody wonder he turned out dead due to bad genetics passed on by his parents.

  • of course hes a fucking officer with a twat name like Bjorn Rose.

  • I hope this war ends soon, so that everyone can go back to their lives. I mean this for both soldiers and the Afghan people. There was this doc that came out recently called Hell and Back Again and in this doc you follow a marine as he goes through his deployment in Afghanistan and his time back at home after he was injured. There's a scene where an Afghan soldier who is fighting the Taliban dies from an explosion and he looked no older than 24. bit. ly/yYsv5o

  • @EwAtSoN27 What a stupid question.

  • We will never forget - US - (Sept 11, 2001) - UK - (July 7, 2005).

    Together we fight with the UK!
