Our War: Goodbye Afghanistan

Marking the end of the British campaign in Helmand, this documentary tells the story of the Afghanistan war through the words and pictures of the soldiers who fought it. The 13-year campaign has been documented like no other conflict, by young soldiers who took video cameras into battle, recording the war as only they could see it. The Ministry of Defence and the soldiers have allowed BBC filmmakers to use this footage to tell the real story of this modern war. The soldiers' individual stories are gripping and often deeply moving - from the account of a platoon sergeant who lost one of his men just two weeks into their tour and the moment a British Apache helicopter fired on its own men with devastating consequences for one paratrooper, to the eye-opening testimony of a surgeon working in Bastion field hospital at the height of the IED threat and the dramatic scenes when a war-weary sergeant leads his men into a surprise attack on one of the Taliban's largest bomb-making factories.
