Ross Kemp in Afghanistan (2008)

S1E3 Now Zad Base

In the third episode, the narrative delves into the experiences of soldiers stationed at the Now Zad base, highlighting the harsh realities of life on Britain's front line. This location is significant as it was where the Royal Anglians faced their first loss, with Private Chris Gray tragically killed in a violent confrontation with Taliban forces in May 2007. Ross sits down with Helen Gray, Chris's mother, to discuss the profound impact of her son's death and the emotional toll the conflict has taken on her family.
