| Summary |
With extraordinary and privileged access to the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in Surrey, Sandhurst Military Academy is a three-part observational documentary filmed at the Academy over the course of a year. The series follows the journey of one intake of cadets, both male and female, through three gruelling terms. The aim is to turn them from civilians into officers, and from followers into the leaders needed for the ongoing war in Afghanistan and beyond.The final episode sees tensions mount amongst the officer cadets. With the end in sight but the prospect of being 'back termed' ever present, the stakes go up each week. The academy's image as a bastion of old school tie and privilege comes under the spotlight as the unrelenting pace tests each individual's abilities - physical, mental and emotional - against the standards of becoming a British officer in the regiments and corps they have applied to join. For some, keeping up proves impossible - but for others the Sandhurst dream is about to become a reality.
