This is the true, and often shocking, story of the modern world at war; a revealing portrayal of the people who fight for their land, their religion and their ideas, and sometimes, just their survival. Following individual fighters in 16 wars over the same 24-hour period, top observational cameramen and directors document the stories of a range of fighters, from child soldiers to women commandos, from UN peacekeepers to army conscripts, in conflicts from Burma to Sudan, Laos to Colombia, cutting between characters as the day unfolds. This is a film about individuals: their reasons for fighting, their hopes for the future and the fear, excitement, and often banality of life in a war zone.

An intimate observational film from the frontline of the Kherson counter-offensive in Ukraine, directed by award-winning Olly Lambert. The southern Ukrainian city of Mykolaiv is a city under siege. Standing in the way of Russia’s advance along Ukraine’s southern coast, it now acts as the key defence of Europe’s border, with Russian positions in occupied Kherson just 40 km away. For two months, BAFTA-winning director Olly Lambert lived in Mykolaiv and secured unprecedented access to a special forces unit on the Kherson frontline. This revealing and intimate observational film takes a deep dive into the trenches and outposts of the Ukrainian military, just as it gears up for the long-awaited counter offensive.
