'd morning rush hour. these boys are about to face the toughest 10 days of paid lives recruits into a 22 i do central selection. most rugged culture. they've basin thousands of hopefuls to get here but that's nothing compared to what they'll have to do next i

live outta dimmock a pocket marker. every year the british army holds a grueling competition in a pool to select the newest members of its legendary brigade. diana had an awesome. jimmy kimmel john crow. many have trained for yes' to get here every test every point every 2nd counts so you must focus on the prize is a career as an elite soldier and british passports for the whole family but they have to be willing to fight and even die for the u.k. . or garner the pirates who are in dine about. to buy gas for connor house.

only the brightest and strongest will be selected. for the others it will be the crushing ind of a mind flung dream best of a dinner party. it's easier to get into harvard university then to join the british corkers more than $12000.00 boys applied this year and the army is going to take less than 4 percent. in the. groom is hoping to be one of the chosen few. he's from a family a family 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 a friend is packed and ready to go. it entirely. from. there. i'll draw lessons learned that

a dog. is the. first. cut acts 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. the in the end 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 head 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 the 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 hope if he gets into the british army he'll be able to pay off her debts for. 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. discussion. 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 hit. 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 the real hit and come all the 3 got up but they're off to

a great start the g.'s of training seem to be paying off. in a race off to race the finishing near the top of favorite. book but the competition is fierce and there's no margin for error. really it is. not. that. but the future at stake come on the road of giving it their all up and based scoring while some was a bonus. i wanted to join the british army since i was 7 or 8 years old. this is my biggest dream if i succeed i'll be so proud when you are in the long

wire 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 ups says some of their friends have already filed it. normal last don't want to go directly to say 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. 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

itself. and not everyone who costs. will get what you want on what do you have and if i need. one 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 their heart's a functioning normally if they know the boys to be disqualified. so incredibly stressful these boys apply to some of them for years to get to the

stage to join the caucus and this test could mean beyond 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 are 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 or do you plan to do. all. those known back to the village. where you had a chance to speak with or. cut a crisp in 2 g.'s and his family thousands of dollars training 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 uk i'm worried he'll also be sent tired. then you posses graduated 0 and were you nervous. because you were sent to the hospital as well but that was so so sad it was one of the phone call of yes all to. when you're sad to say kind of. i know how hard it is i can feel that pressure that things. looked. good afternoon biota 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 notice of because i do but the stress of the last few days has taken a toll on kemal he's lost his confidence which was about his how good i would be asked in the one i said i'm going on. you know. but 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 2 years family have watched him struggle with his disappointment they're now bracing themselves for whatever happens next talk and. 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 weis is almost over the results are out in just a few days but the boys have one last chance to impress the replacements. but we're here with. you.

tomorrow is the final physical test the infamous rice. 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. 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 that it was one of them got into. trouble here before the full effort but i'm sure there are. a lot of trial and error his basket is ready but it feels 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. 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. view 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 sheer determination. those. to their bodies feel like giving up if they mind those that don't push them to the finish line. backing up. your data. but how did you do it. by the time the boys k.c.'s came to be nearly stabbed. by a book about look they're really talking about the. book it is one of the 1st in his group to reach the top in just over 30 minutes that 7 come up.

is nowhere in size. of all those eventually i suppose. he looks absolutely exhausted were you happy. where help went. i'm happy to come but not satisfied with the wife because my dad my face a fizzing time was a bit slow their mother used to think that's going to be a problem. yes of course is going to be a problem because the loss of voice was gone the critic moved. ever since his 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 called dane. after years of hard work it will take just seconds to learn his fate and now. at the camp gates families are also white for the results. boys who fired coming out brutha. molly or the other. people try to console him but he's not stopping anyone it's just awful kemal had tears in his eyes coming out and he didn't want to talk to us and i don't really

blame him. inside drew hit is still hopeful. but he's one of the last boys left on the few. i. finally if he's 10. it looks like he's even. though you've. got 2 ways 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 you graduations bugger off you 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 hope 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 the restoration record whatever it will go to these boys there is no turning back well done within days they'll be on a plane to the u.k. and onto a life boat to hit a mini dreamed about us i wish you had the best on that next journey you are now the future of the brigade of darkness and that is a responsibility that you will carry for the rest of your days in service good luck .
