November 13, 2015 Cpl Wright’s parents, Bob and Jem, meanwhile, have dedicated their lives to raising money for ex-soldiers since the death of their only son. As the British had no airframe with a winch, a Chinook was sent and Cpl Wright instructed to move casualties to a safer area.
He recalls how he met up with Cpl Wright after the younger man came out of the notoriously violent Afghan town of Sangin. A rare, incredibly well executed film about brotherhood, tenacity and grit. At the inquest into the death of Cpl Wright in 2008, the coroner criticised the lack of equipment at the scene, such as a shortage of radio batteries and the fact the RAF could not provide a helicopter with a winch. BAFTA nominated ‘Kajaki: The True Story’ follows a small unit of British soldiers positioned on a ridge overlooking the Kajaki Dam in Helmand Province in 2006.

“We have deliberately set out to tell it from the ordinary soldier’s point of view and to give the audience a taste of what life was like for these young men,” explains Katis. Action & Adventure “That’s the bit I always think about, that he was trying to protect me. 50M2 After betraying his bosses, a hitman hides out in a vacant tailor shop, where he's mistaken for the late owner's son, an identity he decides to embrace. “Corporal Wright... remained conscious for the majority of the time, continually shouting encouragement to those around him, maintaining morale and calm amongst the many wounded men,” his citation read.
It would be several hours before US Black Hawk helicopters with winches were dispatched.
For Cpl Hartley, who left the Army in 2008, being interviewed for the film has proved cathartic. By creating an account, you agree to the
R (for disturbing and graphic depiction of war injuries, and for pervasive language)
