Evacuation

With unparalleled access and using previously unseen footage, this searing three-part series charts the 2021 evacuation of Kabul.

The campaign to evacuate Kabul airport is one of the largest British military undertakings in recent times. An incredibly complex and perilous operation, in which some 15,000 British nationals and eligible Afghans were flown out in a matter of days, it is recounted through first-hand interviews, and on-the-ground footage shot by combat camera teams and individuals closely involved in the operation. A unique insight into a devastating situation, which goes far beyond the headlines and parliamentary debates of the time, Evacuation details the impact and emotional toll of the events on all those involved.

This event is an exclusive preview of the first episode of an upcoming Channel 4 series, followed by a conversation with the creators and special guests.
