War and Justice: The Case of Marine A

In Afghanistan, 2011, Royal Marine Alexander Blackman shot an unarmed Taliban insurgent in the chest. After an investigation and recovered head-cam footage, he became the first member of the UK armed forces in recent history to be convicted of battlefield murder. This compelling documentary investigates the case. Was Blackman a murderer or a soldier struggling with the pressures of war?
