The Soldier's Tale
The amazing personal stories behind some of the bravest acts in six forgotten wars. Rarely seen archive footage, some from the personal collections of the men who fought in these wars. Return journeys to the remote jungles, deserts and villages where these soldiers and policemen shed their own blood. Face-to-face encounters between former enemies who once tried to annihilate each other. These are the hallmarks of the four-part documentary series, The Soldier's Tale.

Rarely have these stories of courage and bravery against sometimes overwhelming odds been told. It is a tragedy that they haven't, as they were more successful than better-known campaigns, such as the American intervention in Somalia. Other more successful actions, such as the French Foreign Legion's intervention to save European hostages at Kolwezi central Africa in 1978 have been forgotten. This valiant effort was no less important than any of the other historically canonized campaigns, and equally deserves an accurate historical depiction. The Soldier's Tale is a four-part documentary series produced by Brush Fire Films. The programmes are, "Return to Limbang", "700 Legionnaires", "Jungle Cops", and "The Battle of Long Tan". All these stories are in danger of being forgotten, and the series documents them through the words of the men who were there - fighting on both sides. Campaigns are more about the soldiers who fought in them than the strategy and politics behind them. The Soldier's Tale reflects this idea, relying heavily on first-person accounts from the men who were on the front line.
