Every day, Canadian soldiers on the ground confront the chaos and violence of life "outside the wire". They don’t have the big picture; they’re not interested in the policy. They’re just trying to help the people, protect each other...and survive. Afghanada gives us a grunts’-eye-view of the conflict . The sound is edgy and gritty, the impact immediate, pushing the listener into an auditory journey that is impossible to escape. It is a reflection of the very real situation Canadian soldiers are facing every day in Afghanistan. ---- The Afghanada cast includes Billy MacLellan as Private Lucas "Chucky" Manson, Jenny Young as Sergeant Pat "Coach" Kinsella, Paul Fauteux as Private Dean "The Machine" Donaldson, Jordan Pettle as Corporal Jakes, Anousha Alamian as Sami and Khan Soroor. ---- Episode 13: Hockey Night in Kandahar. An argument over the merits of the Leafs vs. the Habs leads to a not-so-friendly ball hockey match between our combat unit and the Rear Echelon Supply Section - the boys who man the base at Kandahar Airfield and never have to risk their lives outside the wire. Episode 14: Events take a drastic turn when a Canadian MP meets a Afghan warlord, now a "politician", about arranging direct negotiations with the Taliban. At the press conference afterward, some of the warlord's private thugs object to remarks a Canadian journalist makes about their boss and take matters into their own hands. Episode 15: With a wounded Sergeant Kinsella on her way to hospital at Kandahar Airfield, the remaining Section is sent on a house-to-house search for the kidnapped Canadian journalist. They are assigned a new officer who it turns out has a "history" with Dean Donaldson that goes back to their high school years together in Sudbury. Episode 16: With a "newbie" assigned to the Section, the soldiers head out to re-supply an Australian Patrol Base. The Aussies have not seen a Taliban fighter in months, and they have been forced to entertain themselves. The Section discovers that they are succeeding admirably there, but something in their gut tells them that things aren't quite right. Episode 17: A routine presence patrol lands the unit on security duty in a Kandahar market place following a suicide bombing. Section newbie, Corporal Darcy, doesn’t seem to be up to his new responsibilities "outside the wire" and Coach is determined to get to the bottom of his problem before it endangers the safety if her men. Episode 18: A helicopter crash strands the Section without their weapons while on their way to deliver an unusual prisoner to the Americans. The prisoner convinces them to seek refuge in an enemy Afghan village, but even he is surprised by the consequences. Episode 19: The Section has been pulled out of combat for a special task deep outside the wire. Meanwhile, Coach is struggling with some unexpected feelings that could threaten the performance of her duties. Episode 20: A controversial NGO brings Romeo and Juliet to Kandahar City. It’s intended as a sign of hope to the locals, an alternative to the Taliban, but staging the production proves to be a risky proposition. Then the Section is ordered to provide security for the opening of a school built in Taliban territory by the same NGO. In the midst of all this, Private Manson finds his own Juliet. Episode 21: A visiting Master Corporal joins the Section on a reconnaissance mission. Intelligence has indicated that the Taliban are about to move in and take over a town controlled by the Afghan Army. The battle goes badly, and in the aftermath things turn ugly when the visiting soldier’s actions put him at odds with the rest of the Section. Meanwhile, Dean becomes increasingly worried as relationships within the unit spiral downward. Episode 22: April 6. Morale is at an all time low in the Section as they move in to retake a town from the Taliban. The unit takes a devastating blow when one of their members is killed in a surprise ambush Coach blames herself and begins to doubt her ability to lead. This is the final episode of the first season of Afghanada. ---------------------------------------------------------------------
