Post Description

A new series entitled 'Our War' on BBC3 begins on Tuesday 7 June at 9pm. Our War marks a decade of fighting in Afghanistan with a unique insight into the war told through films shot by the soldiers themselves.

The BBC has been given unprecedented access by the Ministry of Defence to thousands of hours of footage shot on helmet cameras and personal video cameras by soldiers.

With the raw honesty of first person stories of life on the front line, the series offers a gripping and poignant insight into every side of the young soldiers' experience (the average age is 21) - from fear to boredom, grief to bravery, the camaraderie of the platoon and the return home.
