Under Fire - Goose Green
May 1982.
A narrow strip of land.
One battalion ordered to break through.
At Goose Green, British paratroopers advance across open ground under relentless fire, facing well-dug Argentine defenders determined to hold every inch. Machine gun nests dominate the slopes. Trenches become killing grounds. Farm buildings turn into fortified strongpoints. Every yard forward must be fought for.
This is not a single story.
This is twelve.
From the long night march to first contact, from trench fighting and close-quarters assaults to medics under fire, civilians caught in the crossfire, and the final decision to surrender-Under Fire: Goose Green brings you inside one of the most intense infantry battles of the Falklands War.
Told through twelve gripping perspectives-British and Argentine, soldier and civilian-this is war at its most immediate:
No front line.
No safe ground.
No second chances.
Just men under fire, pushing forward-or holding on-until the battle decides for them.
Because victory isn't a moment.
It's a series of fights that finally break the line.
