Today, a visceral account from Ukraine's Frontline as you've not seen it before, the BBC gave troops body cams as they fought Russians at close quarters in a snowy pine forest.
These images and interviews stay with you long after the film ends.
Just at a time Ukraine fears its allies are beginning to forget them.
We hear from the award winning director who gained exclusive access to these soldiers.
The not long ago painters and decorators, vets and 19 year olds dreaming of being professional truck drivers now at the heart of this existential, brutal battle.
Jamie Roberts, thanks so much for joining us.
I mean, I watched the film and like all of the rave reviews that I read, I was gripped.
It was painful to watch as well as just sort of gripping.
Yeah, I suppose that was kind of the experience out there on the front lines.
And so we did want to try and communicate that everything is broken, the people are damaged, the situation is difficult and chaotic.
Some of the social media content that soldiers had been uploading that I'd seen conveyed a bit of that and we wanted to try and see if we could really get into that space and tell a story.
You seem in your career to take a real interest about the people at the heart of big international stories.
So to really take us beyond the headlines.
