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.

Sas, so very very sad. It stunned me how unprofessional some of the men acted.

Unreal lads. RIP Gray and all fallen soldiers.

2:03 This is war...uncensored, unapologetic, and filled with unnecessary death. This scene reminds of a scene in the doc Hell and Back Again where an Afghan soldier who was helping the troop was blown up. They just didn't want him die, but just like Gray...fate wasn't on their side. bit. ly/yYsv5o
