BBC2 tomorrow (Wed) 9pm -- documentary by Olly Lambert Radio Times blurb: Hummer is anxious about this operation as his brother, a policeman, has been called up. The lack of experienced troops means he and his fellow Police officers – after a few weeks of basic training - are being sent to the frontline to attack Russian forces. To find out what may be in store for his brother, Hummer takes Lambert to the zero line, the furthest point for Ukrainian troops, to witness another Police unit in action. Expecting to find the troops in difficulties, instead they witness them performing well, their drones and mortars successfully taking out Russian tanks. It’s an impressive sight and makes Lambert realise that as well as Ukraine’s powerful foreign weapons and a regular army with smart tacticians, there was also a vast shadow army of volunteers. They were drawn from all walks of life but had one thing in common - they simply were not going to give up until they could say they’d won. [Obviously a balanced and objective account of events -- an example of the documentary film-maker's truth-telling integrity] |
