of the loan. kemal groom is hoping to be one of the chosen few. he's from a family of farmers life has always been a struggle for them but this is kemal one chance to change that. the only thing i can think about right now is joining the british army there's nothing else. if i succeed i'll be able to get my parents out of poverty give them a normal life and all the happiness they deserve. to prepare for the gear to try out kemal and his best friend have been at this training center for the last 2 years. they've both tried and failed to join the british army before so this year the pressure is really on.

obviously i want both of us to get in but if only my friend makes it i won't be sad or jealous it will be a proud moment for me. nick stall their friend is packed and ready to go. if there is a. but. there. all right live and a dog. is the. first. ducks pretty nervous himself it will be life changing if he's accepted into the kircus some big thing for me and then for my mother also like. her only dream is for me to join the british army so that i can give us a good life so that i can have

a better future. to it. credits mom raised him in a tiny village with no running water his father an elder sister died when he was ice she's all he has father the mirror hit of the family and i knew. my father was the head of the family but after he died all the responsibility fell on my mother's shoulders society looked down on her because she was a widow it was so hard for her to raise and educate me. prim kumari ran a small fruit stall to support her son but there was never enough money she had to borrow from lunch shocks to pay for cutting training. now she owes about $10000.00 more money than she's ever had out. king article quietly be near they came and asked me who wins the money and when are you going to

get it back how are you going to pay me and a quote on. what i'd buy i just wanted to give him a good education so he could stand on his own feet. is her only hype if he gets into the british army he'll be able to pay off her debts for. my pigeon or. yes. i feel. bad if. i feel really bad that my mother has to ask other people for money sometimes these rich people try to humiliate us. i hate it but we have to put up with this. this guy.

stuff. just so. there's a lot of pressure. when i feel like quitting i remember everything she sacrificed and that motivates me to keep going. for. all of this hope and sacrifice is about to come to a hit. finally it's the 1st day of the physical tests. in the crowd of anxious boys i spot best friends come and we'll head. some practice whether. there is definitely a lot of competition it's really tough because there are limited places you have to be very mentally and physically fit.

but you're right the next week these boys will run jump push and pull their bodies today absolutely to make this. one look good. in the end only a few. good with more than 700 in the fight off keeping an eye out for a real hit and. kemal guthrie yeah. they're off to a great start they g.'s of training seem to be paying off. after grace they finishing near the top of the bridge. but the competition is fierce and there's no margin for error. believe it or. not.

but the future at stake come on the road of giving it their all up and based scoring while someone has a. i wanted to join the british army since i was 7 or 8 years old so i want to. this is my biggest dream if i succeed i'll be so proud when you are in the law why ever to. but they trial is far from over all the boys have to pass a medical and it's the one test they can't prepare for. cut up says some of their friends have already filed it. normal last don't want to go to him saying that like if their medical check up in a normal hospital came out fine there was no problem but in the camp for some

reason they failed. i'm a little worried there's a chance that i'll fail. how about. that. for 2 days the boys will be poked and prodded to make sure they have no hidden illnesses or injuries now hold. everything from their joints to the teeth will be examined any problems place it out. and not everyone who costs. will get what was offered to have an if i don't. want suddenly cut a can come on a pull decide the tests picked up a hot man and now they heading to hospital for a thorough check up. doctors

have to do an ultrasound to make sure they hopped a functioning normally if they know the boys will be disqualified. so incredibly stressful these boys apply to some of them for years to get to the stage to join the poor girls and this test could mean b. and their dreams. it takes just a few minutes but the doctors giving anything away will have to wait for the results back at the camp. the uncertainty is excruciating. for them if they fail they'll have to leave immediately.

well you want. i'm really hoping that by and cut it could have passed. but at the gates it's clear the news isn't. all so sorry about. how you doing. the text hisses showed an abnormality with his harsh prolonged intense exercise could cause sudden death. he can never be a soldier in the british army what do you plan to do. all. those known back to the village. where you had

a chance to speak with or. cut a cusp into jesus and his family thousands of dollars trying to become a good. all of it has been fanaa think. back in the camp kemal is the last one to find out his results after what happened to cut up i'm worried he'll also be sentara. that you posses graduated 0 and were you nervous. because you were sent to the hospital as well but that was so so sad because one of the phone callers yes all 3. were you sad to say kind of. i know how hard it is i can feel that bridge that

things from looked. good afternoon by us from outside the staff are finally able to give the remaining boys the good news i know some of their is at the barrier medical getting away oh there's something about a medically do not say the same son. thank god. the now come on and roll him up both safe and they can call their families. when you're. low. on. or more your camera phone. i'm a metaphysical noticeably called you but the stress of the last few days has taken a toll on kemal he's lost his confidence which was about his her get out with us in the on the bus it on the. you know.

it's. not even real he also gets through to his mom. hello and out i mean. this is his last chance to get into the british army they won't let him try again because he's already failed twice. so i was a bachelor and when i didn't get in i was devastated i just wanted to be alone as i was living away from my family i felt like in their eyes i was a failure i couldn't bear it i just couldn't move on. its mother says she tried to support him but the whole family was devastated. the month they moved us on that i was in when we last saw it makes me so sad. i can

start my tears when i think about it. it's hard to see. your child works so hard and still fail. and we try to console him we told him he could try again because there was time. but inside we also felt hurt. anybody. she has used all the family savings to pay for roads training 'd and that's put enormous pressure on him the minute he has worked really hard his hands were full of blisters and his back was totally bruised because he carried those heavy baskets he would try so hard. for too long news family have watched him struggle with his disappointment they now bracing themselves for whatever happens next. they may but we're hoping that he'll get in but i've told him that in case he doesn't. control yourself

i'll come and get you and bring you home. they weiss is almost over the results are out in just a few days but the boys have one last chance to impress the replenishments. but we're here with. us. tomorrow is the final physical test the infamous doctor's rights. each boy has to carry a doctor band big basket filled with 15 kilograms of sand and they have to do it while sprinting up the mountain was the. one i found and. today i am making sure they baskets otitis securely. seems pretty happy with he's.

he's having trouble. with goes all of them got into. trouble here because of the rare thought that i was without. a lot of trial and error and his basket is ready the did feel like a bad little. finally it's race day and the boys a rearing to go at the crack of dawn. i'll expose a lot of people that are going to come out in the front row wearing a blue shorts dead body. in the middle. class. 7

rebel. it's a steep 5.8 kilometers to the top a long winding road. through all that. would be an opponent of ranges towering above the views a spectacular. but the only thing the boys i'm looking at is the competition. this is not just a taste of strength it's a taste of shoe determination. those. to their bodies feel like giving up if they mind those that don't push them to the finish line. far to. get into.

the to go. by the time the boys k.c.'s can only stand. by a book about what their real talk is well. look it is one of the 1st in his group to reach the top in just over 30 minutes that come up. is nowhere in sight. out of all those eventually i suppose. he looks absolutely exhausted when you have. where now when. i'm happy to come but not satisfied with the wife why does my dad my face a fizzing time was a big. do you think that's going to be a problem. yes of course it's going to be

a problem because they're. gone critically. ever since you scare at the hospital kemal has been struggling. but he could still be selected if his overall score is high. he won't have to wait long to find out. at the camp the moment of truth has arrived. the medical. miracle will are but there you. go. one by one each boy will be told if you. don't got it you know there's only 432 places and more than 700 hopefully it's what. kemal is one of the 1st to be cooled. off to years of hard work it will

take just seconds to learn his fate and now. at the camp gates families are also for the results. boys who fired coming out. brutha. molly or the other. people trying to console him but he's not stopping anyone it's just awful kemal had tears in his eyes coming out and i didn't want to talk to us and i don't really blame him. inside dru hit is still hopeful. but he's one of the last boys left on the. i know it's his ted. it looks like he's even. though you've. got to like that is feel

and that is that. we never assume because you are at the bottom of the kirov and i was not asked did you think you were going to get a no you were not going to get me i was looking to get in but i was missing ok the graduation is backing up to go. for the boys who got in it's a moment they will never forget the day they lives changed forever i feel so great . i think i missed a milestone is the greatest that's did you think you're going to make it some are on the verge of t. is. are in shock what they've achieved at such a young age is truly remarkable today have a fantastic day. the end of work your journey through the recruiting process. and the start of a new journey into the british army. into the most famous regiment in the world
