What's really going on in Ukraine? In this hard-hitting docuseries, combat veterans embed with active troops to reveal the unfiltered realities of modern warfare. Season 1 takes us to Ukraine, where Ethan Nagel (USMC, Scout Sniper) and Chris Naganuma (Army, Infantry) from Project Leaflet follow units composed primarily of American and Western volunteers, the elite 3AB Ukrainian special forces, and courageous civilians risking everything to defend their homeland. This is the return of the gritty war documentary. War journalism done right, by actual combat vets.

New Genre: Hystorical Fiction EVERYTHING we write and produce is rooted in truth. It’s a model I believe that every “media” company and brand is trying to emulate. Apparently the word “authenticity” was the word of the year in 2023…probably because Tik Tok blew up years in the prior so every brand with tons of money tried to emulate the rawness that Tik Tok brought…AND FAILED. We crowdsource our stories straight from the source. If we’re writing a show about army infantry or navy corpsman or marine motor t…we create a Facebook group with 100 of them and ask for funny stories and interesting characters. The ones that leave the best comments, we hire as advisors. And the screenwriter is a veteran that literally lived it. And then once it’s drafted, we have a table read where we bring in more advisers from that MOS to punch it up. Authenticity is our bread and butter. While we didn’t invent the genre…we labeled it. Hystorical Fiction.

This week, VET Tv acknowledges and honors the service and sacrifice of our Afghanistan veterans. We're offering a 2-day free trial of VET Tv so you can be among the first to see "Interpreters Wanted," our powerful documentary by four-time Emmy-winning director Robert Ham. It tells the story of two Afghan brothers who risked everything to support U.S. forces, only to be left behind after the chaotic U.S. pullout. This film -- some 15-years in the making -- highlights their desperate struggle for survival as the Taliban closed in, and the enduring bond they shared with an American Soldier. This film is a stark reminder of the sacrifices made by these interpreters and our responsibility to those who stood by us.   📽 GI Film Festival | Founders Choice Award Winner 📽 Documentaries Without Borders International Film Festival | Human Spirit Award 📽 Arizona International Film Festival | Best Documentary 📽 Martha's Vineyard Film Festival 📽 Gig Harbor Film Festival 📽 Heartland International Film Festival 📽 DWF LA Streaming now on veterantv.com 

Myself & the VET Tv - Veteran Entertainment Television team stopped in izyum, coming across this school Russia forces bombed. For 6 months Izyum was under Russian occupation seeing a estimated population drop from 44000 to under 10000 ( round numbers ). The battle started in March 2022 for control of the town of Izium due to the town’s importance as a transportation node. Russian force’s wanted to capture Izium so its forces in Kharkiv Oblast could link up with their troops in the Donbas region. On 10 September 2022, Ukrainian forces recaptured the town during the 2022 Kharkiv counteroffensive and local mass graves with 440 bodies were found. The occupation is still very much felt and seen here in Izyum. Houses are in ruins, water and electricity can be hard to get, air sirens and artillery are heard nightly, but the coffee & will of the people are high. I’ve been filming a new series with Ethan Nagel launching on VET Tv - Veteran Entertainment Television this Sept / Oct covering units in combat and how quickly technology is changing the face of the battlefield today. 📸 Ethan Nagel More to follow 🏴 #TheLeaflet #VetTv
