In an Australian television first, Seven’s Border Security cameras were embedded with the Armed Forces elite C-Squadron on the dangerous frontlines of Afghanistan.
This gripping one hour special takes viewers deep behind Taliban enemy lines with Australia’s Chinook helicopter pilots as they risk their lives under constant enemy fire to transport soldiers and vital supplies to the frontline.
With cameras having unlimited access to the C-Squadron’s five month tour of duty on the frontline, the audience is taken on an emotional journey with our brave Australian soldiers.
From the heartbreak of leaving loved ones behind, to every frightening moment in battle, viewers witness first-hand what Australian soldiers deal with day-to-day with the harsh realities of war.
Executive Producer Lyndal Marks said; “This was one of the most expansive and intriguing factual shows I’ve ever worked on. Our cameras capture the roller coaster of emotions of the daily life and death struggle of our soldiers. This is the true frontline of defense, as they fight to stop terrorism, and drugs from the world’s biggest producer of heroin, crossing our borders.”
This cutting edge special has been more than two years in the making, with production teams using revolutionary technology never before operated in an Australia production to give viewers an intimate, up close seat right alongside the C-Squadron’s action.
Our courageous C-Squadron soldiers are now considered the Taliban’s number one target.
Inspiring and moving, this ground breaking special is not to be missed.
