The Fittest Survive

VP 1: Reality For TV: Wednesday 31/1, 18:00 @ Studio II
The video 'The Fittest Survive' is based on filming the five-day course “Surviving Hostile Regions” done in January 2006 in Wales, Great Britain by the AKE Group. British ex-special force soldiers are preparing businessmen, journalists and government officials for a stay in Iraq or other dangerous regions. The video, primarily filmed by hand camera, follows the survival-course participants as they experience the staged reality of live shell bombardments, an assault by armed guerrillas, the rescue of accident victims, and moving through mine fields. Above this training camp in Wales, low-flying British fighter planes hold manoeuvres and foreshadow the real war theatres in which the class participants will soon be.
