Ross Kemp: Back to the Front Line

Ross Kemp, now recognised as one of the best reporters on the conflict in Afghanistan, is going back on the frontline.

His award-winning documentaries have been applauded for providing an honest, eye-opening account of a British soldier's life fighting the Taliban. In this, his third series on the subject, he doesn't disappoint, getting to the root of the many problems facing troops in Afghanistan today, ten years on from 9/11 and the American led invasion of the country. To get a better understanding of the current situation he spends time with British forces, in this case The Royal Marines, whilst also going on patrol with the United States Marine Corps and the Afghan National Army. And, for the first time, he meets key members of the Taliban who warn him that they will retake control of the country when combat troops leave at the end of 2014.
