In this critically acclaimed series Ross Kemp joins his father's old regiment, 1 Royal Anglian, and travels to Britain's frontline in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, to experience, for himself, the British Army's fight against the Taliban.
Filmed during the summer of 2007, Ross dodges the bullets to witness and endure the worst fighting British troops have suffered for over fifty years.
Candid and brutally honest, this series is the first on UK television to show in detail what our soldiers are doing to win peace in this war torn land. Extraordinary battle scenes show us in close up the brutality of war. Off the battlefield we find out what a soldier's life is like and why they continue to fight this fanatical enemy. And with exclusive footage, we tell the stories of those who made the ultimate sacrifice, along with powerful and moving interviews from relatives bereaving the loss of their sons.
This hard hitting and thought provoking series of 5 programmes is Ross' most difficult assignment to date.

This documentary will take you on one hell of a roller coaster ride, from adrenaline, amazement, laughter,pain and tears, once you have watched this you will be shattered but left with an enormous feeling of pride in the forces (not just UK) who are risking their lives to try and bring peace to the world. Respect goes out to Ross who has done something no other actor or politician would do, he went on the front line, in the firing line to bring too us the coach potatoes, the real reality of war and the costs / sacrifices that go with it, on the battle field and for the families at home! This will really open your eyes to what this War is all about, my thoughts are with the guys fighting and their families. Keep up the good work. Your in my prayers!
Great Inspiration
