“This gripping film of a battle in Afghanistan is anti-war propaganda on a par with anything made by Scorsese.”
“ Our War won a Bafta for its first series, and it could claim another if the second run matches the standard of this extraordinary opener… a film that has as much power and poignancy as an epic war movie.”
“Visceral, harrowing television”
A daring three-day mission deep into enemy territory by Arnhem Company, Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment during Afghanistan’s bloodiest summer on record. Under constant threat of sniper attack, IEDs and ambush, the mission starts to unravel when two soldiers are fatally injured.
