While he was embedded with the US army in Afghanistan, British humanitarian photographer Giles Duley stepped on an IED (improvised explosive device). The explosion left him with horrific injuries and, ultimately, as a triple amputee.
This film documents Giles’s courageous return to Afghanistan as he undertakes his first major photographic assignment since the explosion, in the country where he very nearly lost his life.
“If this year throws up a programme more deserving of an hour’s screen time than last night’s Walking Wounded: Return to the Frontline, then I’ll be amazed…This programme was excellent not, only because the story is so powerful, and Duley is an engaging and inspiring personality, but because the director-producer Siobhan Sinnerton crafted a beautifully understated piece of work”
