Overview
Janus Metz's documentary about Danish troops and Afghani civilians in and around a UK-Danish base in Helmand Province combines balanced observation, urgent reportage and sensitive, compassionate insights into the dreadful toll taken on all - but particularly on the young and inexperienced - by war.
