In our modern world the word "hero" is thrown around for a sportsperson who has a few good games.
This documentary on the other hand shows the true definition of heroism, people who risked or gave their lives, agains massive odds, to save their comrades.
I can't begin to explain how impressive the awardees of the VC are and some of the stories here are truly jaw-dropping.
Then there's Clarkson, you may or may not like him from Top Gear but in this he is superb, his knowledge and respect for this subject shines through, he did 2 other fantastic
war story documentaries but I wish he'd done more.
They're a masterclass in storytelling.
And the twist at the end is scarcely believable, but it's true.
I cannot recommend this show highly enough and have rewatched it several times.
For Valour!
