My son died in this war he will forever be in our hearts and we are so proud of him. Gone but not forgotten Nathan we miss you...
-
This is an EXCELLENT documentary. The interviews with both sides are fantastic. It's genuinely disappointing that productions like this are so rare today on television.
-
This is such a respectful and well done documentary.As an Argentine, I am moved to hear the story from both sides of a war that clearly should never have happened (Is there a war that should have happened?). My respects go to those who participated on both sides in this war, and I hope we never have to go through something like this again.

'willing to die for my country but not for a politician...' well put. i was in tears at many points in this documentary. my brother fought in vietnam; he was also very young. there is a reason why vets often do not speak of their service. war is grotesque in so many unspeakable ways.

Imagine if The History Channel tried explaining this. They’d probably tie it to secret buried treasure and ancient aliens.
-
When the argentine man said he began to wonder if they were in invaders my heart sank. They were pawns in a political war. Those poor men..
-
1:26:26 listening to this brave man talk about burial duty literally made me weep. You can really tell he is trying to keep his composure for the interview & the images & emotions just come flooding back. I'm not from the UK but he is a hero to me & I have immense respect for him.

I was a 21 year old American when the war in the Falkland Islands occurred. Wasn't much written about it in the states. The thing I do remember reading about, was the sinking of the Sheffield, by a Dassault Etendard firing an Exocet missile. This is the FIRST time I got an up close look at the tragedy of this war. One of the best documentaries on YouTube. Thank you for it.
-
When we "learned" about this war in school, it was treated like a blip. "Ten weeks! Fewer than a thousand died! Next!" But this was the longest ten weeks of some people's lives, and it continues to be a long and slow lifetime without loved ones and caring for the injured. The history books conveniently forget the injured. Thank you for this documentary. The pain is incomprehensible.

I was 17 and my friend and I volunteered to go at the army recruiting office. The Sgt smiled and said come back when you're a bit older. I did and became an army medic and now I am a nurse :)
-
This was an absolute eye-opener. It has made me think about war in a totally different way... and I served my country as a soldier. I truly felt the pain each and everyone in this documentary felt...a pain I didn't know existed until now. I am forever changed... for the better.
-
I have watched this documentary at least ten times now. I couldn’t put my finger on what made it different from the many others I have watched over the years. In this moment I believe I have it. It’s the pain in that widows eyes. The tortured mind of that trooper. The visceral cost and tragedy of this war that was so excellently displayed in this film. The tragedy and pain of war on both sides.
-
"I am not speaking with a gun in my back". So very British.
-
ABSOLUTELY NO PROPAGANDA...... I love it, this was the most non bias documentary I've seen in a long time!
-
Incredibly moving. A real documentary film that credits the viewer with intellect and empathy in equal measure. The fallen will be remembered always.
-
I wasn’t planning on watching this whole video but I was glued the entire time and have less than 10 min left. Great documentary.
-
These interviews are extremely powerful, and I feel they portray things in a decidedly sober manner. Fantastic documentary
-
I like the way they've shown people talking about the same battles from both the British and Argentinian perspective
-
I'm British and my wife is Argentine. Was refreshing to be able to watch something about both our histories without the usual although admittedly natural bias for one side. Really well done✔
