Speaking about the documentary, Swati Mohan, General Manager, India, NGC Network (India), said, “National Geographic has always given viewers unprecedented access to some of the most iconic institutions. We have taken them inside The Vatican, The White House and even the International Space Centre. With this documentary we are giving viewers unique access to a force, who till now have just been ‘brave soldiers protecting the borders’. The documentary will present to viewers the never seen before emotions, incredible stories of sacrifice, and the unshakable courage of the men and women that make this force. This documentary is our salute to the amazing spirit of the Border Security Force.”
The documentary will premiere on the eve of India’s 67th Republic Day, 25th January at 9PM with a repeat on Republic Day.
This is National Geographic Channel’s fourth series showcasing the spirit and courage of the Indian Forces. The channel has earlier produced and broadcast Mission Army (with the Indian Army in 2011), Mission Navy (with the Indian Navy in 2009) and Mission Udaan (with the Indian Air Force in 2005).
They capture spectacular scenes across the different terrains the BSF is stationed in. From the unforgiving snow peaked mountains of Kashmir to the breath-taking deserts of Rajasthan, from the creek areas of Gujarat to the imposing mangroves of Sunderbans, the documentary showcases BSF in action, in the varied topography that the force works in.
