Documentary about a woman that reported on Afghanistan 6 months ago, and went back to see how the war is affecting those she met last time?
What a dozy cow.
Sorry, but if you watched it, you know what I mean.
1st of all, a reporter usually enclosed in an office in Fleet Street going back to a war-torn region.
Fair enough, I can dig that.
Except she had to sneak through the border patrols and no-go zones.
Ok, a bit dangerous but still maybe I can see why.
But her guide panics and they run off into the night when a border patrol turn up.
Hello? Suspicious?
And then the guide gets lost and can't find the bridge across the river.
So she keeps saying how it's -10 degrees and they are as high as the base camp on Everest.
And she's wearing a shawl and some duffel coat thing.
*shakes head*
And then they decide to wade across a river.
At night.
In Afghanistan.
Below freezing.
She then complains her feet are frozen solid and she can hardly speak.
*claps hands slowly*
So let me get this straight:
A region with conditions that the SAS train years for, the hardest soldiers fail to get into a regiment that deals in these conditions...and a woman wearing light winter wear stumbles around at night with a guide that gets lost?
The amazing thing is she survived.
And went back home again saying very little.
What a pointless waste of 60 mins to see this stupid woman lurch around a warzone, defying conditions that Spec Ops teams have to learn to survive in.
now if she did all that to see monkeys fire eating and riding unicycles then he cold feet would have been worth it
:)
PS this is why the press are so evil and vulture like! Do anything (however ill-advisable or just plain STUPID) for the 'scoop of the century'.
She'll be welcomed and hailed as a hero for making it back.
