Unguarded, unfiltered and profoundly moving.

For some veterans, the batte doesn't end when they return home.

Over this six-episode series, you’ll hear the heartrending true stories of UK

military veterans who experienced extraordinary events and survived, but not

without consequences; post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression and,

for some, substance misuse. Thankfully, with support from veterans’ mental

health charity Combat Stress, these men and women are rebuilding their lives.

Combat Stress worked with UK reminiscence charity Age Exchange to travel the length

and breadth of the UK recording interviews with veterans who’ve been treated by

Combat Stress. Funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, the charities

brought together veterans to tell their powerful stories, often for the first

time in public.

Combining clinical insight from world-leading experts and the real experiences of UK

military veterans, take a deeper look at the impact of extreme military experiences.
