The-Architect 0 Posted February 20, 2008 If you're even slightly interested in the British effort in Afghanistan then you need to see this series. It's top draw. http://ipb.quicksilverscreen.com/index.php?showtopic=63212 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MehMan 0 Posted February 20, 2008 Very nice find! I've been trying to find some documentaries and shows about the fighting in Afghanistan but they seem rather scarce. I saw Fighting The Taleban and Meeting The Taleban(very nice pieces of work, both of them, watch them if you can) and just lots of random news footage.

Pathy 0 Posted February 20, 2008 This is an awesome series. I didn't like Ross Kemp before this, had nothing but disdain for him, but every episode I see he wins more respect for telling the soldiers stories as they are, with no judgement or anything. Anyone who wants to know what we are up against in Afganistan just has to watch this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Infam0us 10 Posted February 22, 2008 It's a shame it's only 5 episodes, I was really starting to get into it. Might go and check out his Gangs Docu now and see what thats like ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Average Joe 0 Posted February 22, 2008 Was a fantastic documentry, you know people who bash Ross because they think he pretends to be a hardman all the time can kiss my arse. He put his life on the line many a time with the lads and Im proud of them and also of what he achieved. My hats off to Ross and my thoughts are with our boys who were taken early and their familys.

cjph 0 Posted February 26, 2008 Hi All Ross Kemp's Gang series takes him to a number of trouble hotspots like Jamaica, Poland and Columbia, and he is not afraid to interview some very shady characters. Well worth a watch, especially when the police show off the arsenals taken from these gangs (who are better equipped than some military units). He rightly won a BAFTA for the series. Another programme covering the war in Afghanistan I saw was on UK satellite and called something like "Fighting with the Green Berets in Afghanistan" which was a one hour documentary about a reporter embedded with a unit. Gives another insight into what is going on - I prefer these programmes compared to some of the dramatised variants. For what its worth, my respect to all coalition troops serving in Iraq/Afghanistan. cjph cjph Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
