“An amazing achievement and a beautiful film…
an extraordinary, ambitious and very human piece of work”
The Guardian
BDH animate every name of The Fallen, 300 serviceman and woman who died while serving with the British Armed Forces in Afghanistan and Iraq since 2001.
A powerful and poignant film in which families and friends of those who have died fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq talk openly about their loved ones and their grief. Epic in scale and spanning seven years of war, this landmark three-hour film gives a rare insight into the personal impact and legacy of this loss.
The RTS Award winning film made by acclaimed filmmaker Morgan Matthews, takes us across Britain and into the homes of those who have lost loved ones. The film also uses cherished personal home movie footage featuring those who have died as well as archive footage, leaving a lasting impression of their lives both inside and out of the armed forces.
