In this documentary, we hear directly from soldiers serving in the Royal 22e
Régiment – all of them francophone. Members of the regiment (known in English
as “Van Doos”) were filmed in the field in March 2011, during their deployment
to Afghanistan. They speak with ease and a rare candour about themselves and
their work, whether out on patrol or performing their duties at the base. The
film's images and interviews bring home the complexity of the issues on the
ground and shed light on the little-understood experiences of the men and
women who served in Afghanistan. The Van Doos in Afghanistan is an
exceptional film that lets the soldiers speak for themselves.
