50A RATHBONE PLACE LONDON
ENVY DOES THE FULL POST PRODUCTION ON THE FALLEN
November 2008

ENVY has done the off-line, on-line, grading and audio on 'The Fallen'.


BBC2's The Fallen was, by some distance, the most ambitious television programme in this year's season of remembrance. For a year Morgan Matthews has been on a mission to reconnect the British public with the human cost among British forces serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. It was 12 months ago that he started work on an ambitious TV programme to chronicle all those who have died for Queen and country in these ongoing wars.


The film names every British serviceman and woman to have died in Iraq and Afghanistan since those wars began in 2001 and 2003 respectively. It also features interviews with the families and loved ones of many of those killed.


It was an immense task that saw Matthews and his team try to contact the next of kin of each casualty from both conflicts, doing so via the different regiments involved. Despite the sensitive nature, the reactions of loved ones was broadly positive, and Matthews found the experience humbling.

"It was a real honour to hear people's stories, to be invited into their homes and for them to share their feelings with us "
