Granted unprecedented access, the cameras go directly to the heart of modern warfare by following a platoon of 40 men and women from 1 Platoon, Mike Company, 3rd Battalion, Royal Canadian Regiment from the time they commence their training until they are declared "battle-ready." Our film crew is then embedded with the platoon "outside the wire" in Afghanistan where the soldiers' skills are put to the ultimate test when they encounter insurgents for the first time.
