Helmand: Tour of Duty
Marking a decade since the withdrawal of British combat troops from Afghanistan, feature-length documentary Helmand: Tour of Duty explores in intimate, dramatic and revelatory detail the frontline experience of British soldiers deployed to Helmand in 2009. Sharing their experiences for the first time on camera, the soldiers - alongside wives and mothers - reveal the reality of their 6 month tour and life back home. The film also explores their experience over the 15 years since the tour, with the cast reflecting on how they have processed events particularly in the context of the Taliban resurgence in Afghanistan in 2021.
