"From civilian life to the front line of war, join acclaimed film maker CHRIS TERRILL (HMS Brilliant, Shipmates) as he follows a group of young recruits, each embarking on an extraordinary, intense and life-changing journey to become a Royal Marine Commando.
With unprecedented access to both the training and battleground, this series, first seen on ITV 1, captures the exhiliration, excitement and fear of 924 Troop as they prepare for the killing fields of Afghanistan.
Terrill, who himself lived and trained with the rookie Marines of 924 Troop, records eight months of training that will test nerve, stamina and intelligence -- and then shows firsthand how the most grueling military training in the world is put into practice on the battlefields of Afghanistan."
