I AM A SOLDIER. I AM AT WAR. Seven-year-old Chris and Imran are sworn blood brothers. Ten years on they are treading seperate paths. The spectre of terrorism has wrecked their friendship. It has changed their lives and could even end them. A story of two ordinary boys growing up in an extraordinary time - our time. A time of terror, when atrocities don't happen in the TV reports about people in far away places. Rioting, fighting, maiming, and killing are happening here, on our doorstep.
