Border Guard Unit Stars in TV Series

January 21, 2009

The series was created by former British Special Air Service commando fighter Chris Ryan, who participated in numerous operations in places like Iraq, Libya, and terror hubs in Africa. Ryan visited Israel with his filming crew and accompanied a Border Guard unit for an entire week, documenting its fight against human trafficking and drug and weapon smuggling on the southern border. The crew also focused on the unit’s training methods and even joined it for a drug bust.

In addition to the Israeli unit, the series deals with special police units in Brazil, Columbia, Kazakhstan, Poland, Mexico, and Sri Lanka. The Border Guard episode aired in Israel on January 12.
