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.

Chris Grays parents are fucking stupid

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

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
