Stuart Pearson went on a routine patrol to observe and possibly attack a Taliban checkpoint near Kajaki Dam in Helmand province. As his patrol carefully picked their way down a ravine, his friend, Cpl Stuart Hale, hopped across a river bed and then flew backwards after stepping on a mine. Stuart Pearson was the next victim after he stood on a mine as he went to his friend's aid. He looked down and all that was left of his lower leg was a shoe lace still attached. Another soldier, Andy Barlow, who subsequently won the George Medal for attending to the wounded, stood on a mine after reaching to grab a bottle of water that had been thrown to him. The NCO in charge, Cpl Wright, was severely wounded twice by shrapnel but he still continued looking after the men. Once rescued, Cpl Mark Wright died in the helicopter. A movie was made about the event - "Kilo Two Bravo" that is currently on Netflix. Stu Pearson joins Robert Gowin to talk about the events of that day, what he's been doing since separation from the military, and how he now works to assist others.

Paul Katis talks about Kilo Two Bravo, why we’re all potentially heroes and why he didn’t start out to make an anti war film.Film SynopsisKilo Two BravoIMDBTrailerRotten TomatoesA patrol of British paratroopers in Afghanistan find themselves caught in the middle of a deathtrap in this remarkable, fact-based war drama from first-time feature director Paul Katis.Director Paul Katis’ extraordinary, based-on-fact first feature is one of the most rigorous, haunting, and riveting war films in recent memory. In the mountains of Afghanistan in 2006, a British platoon is sent to man a hilltop outpost in the country’s rugged interior. While a detachment is on patrol in a local valley, one of the company is injured by a land mine left over from the Soviet-Afghan War nearly two decades previously. Surrounded by mines and the invisible threat of encroaching Taliban fighters, the soldiers struggle to keep their wounded — and themselves — alive as casualties mount and the valley transforms into a deathtrap.“Effectively tense and utterly unflinching in its depiction of battlefield carnage, dramatizing the story with a minimum of artistic licence and virtually no mercy”Norman Wilner, NOW MagazineBiographyPaul Katis is a British filmmaker who worked for years editing, producing, and directing television commercials before transitioning to narrative films. His shorts include Starting Over and Exposed. Kilo Two Bravo is his feature debut.More info about the film here. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
