Further stories of life on the frontline in Afghanistan, seen through films shot by the soldiers themselves. A mission deep into enemy territory is captured on camera by soldiers during Afghanistan’s bloodiest summer on record. Troop surges in 2010 forced the Taliban to fight dirty, using more IEDs than ever. Against this backdrop a 100-strong company from 2nd Battalion, Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment was deployed into one of the most dangerous areas of Helmand, tasked with protecting a vital road link. During a firefight, Kingsman Darren Deady was shot in the neck. He collapsed into the lap of Sergeant Mark Wilson who was filming on a helmet camera. The operation later claimed the life of Captain Andrew Griffiths - the first child of a serving officer to die in Afghanistan. A dust storm grounded all aircraft in Bastion, but two helicopter pilots rewrote the rulebook, flying in formation to navigate so they could evacuate him. Both men were treated in the UK, but died of their injuries

In the first documentary on the latest gun massacre in the USA, Amal speaks to survivors, including Jansen Young, who lived because her boyfriend shielded her from bullets.

Ten years ago Russell Brand was addicted to heroin, his career was unravelling and he was told he may only have six months to live. The story of how he battled to stay clean of drugs is at the heart of this honest, personal film in which Brand challenges how our society deals with addicts and addiction. The death of his friend Amy Winehouse was the spur to this exploration of the ’condition of addiction’ which, he believes, is misunderstood and wrongly treated. Brand meets a whole range of people from whom he draws insights - scientists at the cutting edge of research into the psychology of addiction, those involved in innovative recovery treatments and drug addicts themselves. He draws on his own experience to try to help an addict take the first steps towards recovery, and has the opportunity to influence policy makers when he is invited to give evidence before the Home Affairs Select Committee investigating the efficacy of current drug addiction treatment in the UK
