Straight into battle in Taliban terrain
We go on the ground in Helmand province, Afghanistan, where fighting continues between British troops and the Taliban. Soldiers are aware that their survival relies on that precarious combination of battle smarts and dumb luck. With audio from the BBC, we get a personal window into the lives of the soldiers and the region’s residents; both groups are fighting for survival as battle rages on.
