- Falkland Islands Television has made an incredibly powerful film by showcasing the stories of Falkland Islanders and veterans from 1982 and beyond. This film will take you through the Falklands War from the perspective of those who fought to liberate the Islanders and also from the Islanders themselves.
The film goes beyond 1982 and touches upon the legacy of the War and how the Falkland Islands have progressed into a modern, diverse, self-governing and financially self-reliant UK Overseas Territory.
I’m so pleased to see this. As a 63 year old British Army veteran who spent a few months in the Falklands immediately post conflict, I’m amazed and heartened to see the great strides and changes made. I’ll guess “365” isn’t so popular on the menu these days either!
Frank the American here, great video. 1982 this was in the American news, though, because I was at sea myself, heard basically nothing, No fault to anyone, news coverage just did not work back then like it does now. Plus being 20 years old, generally one's mind is elsewhere. This 1982's restored vintage coverage of AV-8A's Harriers, fantastic! USMC had the same Harriers. I got to see and 'hear' a lot of Harriers because those planes were also on the same ship back in '82. It's only been in the past year or so, Falklands has sparked my interest. All politics aside, what a wonderful part of the world. The folks there are fantastic steward's of the land. Brave Men, Women, Children, Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Airmen, thank you for your story and history.
As an American child in 1982 it was the first military conflict I viewed on TV. I was 11 years old and the news footage captured my attention like nothing else. I was interested in history since my Grandfather fought in Europe during WW2 and now I was watching history being made in real time. To this day the history of this war still grabs my attention. Also the British troops looked pretty damn tough to this kid back then! Peace. 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Respect to our Armed forces, Congratulations to the Falklanders for the resounding determination to remain part of the British family but with the desire to determine their own future. Here in Gibraltar we also decided twice via a referendum to continue our links with the United kingdom whilst determining our own future.
Gibraltar and the Falklands share many things in common on a political front. We both have a larger neighbouring country that does not like us.
Stand tall, stand proud ,defend your culture, heritage and traditions never give in .Respect and greetings from Gibraltar.

Great to see that the Falklands has become such a great place.
The conflict being fought by our guys galvanised my desire to join up. If they were prepared to put their lives on the lune then so was I.
I was in the NZ Army then. I remember the day very, very well. A staff-Sergeant who didn't like Brits much gleefully told me that, "the Argentinains have invaded England". My geography is actually very, very good, so I knew there was something fishy about his gleeful claim.
Although the majority of Kwis I knew were keen on the UK winning, it amazed me how many NZers wanted the UK to fail. Not for one moment did I doubt Maggie's and the troops resolve to win right from the start.

Lovely to see the Sir David Attenborough. but I always call it BOATY Mc BOAT FACE .can't help it .

A very pleasing film ......I was there for couple months just after the war ended. Is here anyone in Stanley who knows an old ex offshore oil & gas N.Sea diver living there during the war?? I think he was associated with commercial fishing there. Thanks.
Thank you for making this, the interviews, great to see how it is going there. I'm more than happy to have been one of the team. Hugs to Carol Stewart and the 'Sutton gang'. ex Antrim82 / Whalebone Cove & Arrow.
Rest assured that you will always be protected from Argentina........... I volunteered for the task force (RNR) and was told that if they needed people my age then things were looking very dicy!
Good on you, mate! They seem to forget that some of the best shots are older blokes and some of the most stubborn fighters too!
It's scary to realize. How something you remember as being so recent. Has become history.
Great video thank you
The argentinians should have been made to clear all the mines before they were deported
After the War Argentina provided all mine locations. Anyway, I understand you mean add humillates measures to Argentinians right?
@@josedro ….No, I actually meant, give the Argentinians a shovel and make them dig up every darn mine that they planted.
@@johnchatterton9240 Yeah excellent idea. Same measure to every British to every country invaded by the UK like eg. Afganinstan. Sounds fair right?
@@josedrothey didn't provide all mine locations at all, some maps were found months later by British soldiers. They were still finding new mine fields years later

It's wonderful to see the wild life in their natural environment "forgiving and increasing."

God Bless America.
What never gets mentioned, is the indeginous people of Argentina, The people who Lived their 1st .And were colonised by the Spanish Killed in their thousands by Church and State .Argentines always shout the Falklands is ours ,Argentina isn't yours it was stolen by Spain, invaded. No original people were on the Falkland. A bit off track ,but it needs to told ,LEST WE FORGET.
Who lived there - English please!!!
@@UncleBoko Total BOLLOCKS. Look at Humans. DON'T Lie .
There were no inhabitants of the Falklands prior to its discovery
@@UncleBoko No Body ,from Spain or France ,who Lived in Modern day Argentina, ? You 1st .Don't think so .
Me imagino que opinaras igual de las poblaciones indígenas de los territorios conquistados por la fuerza por Gran Bretaña y la suerte que corrieron. Que pensaras lo mismo del trafico de esclavos que operaban compañás británicas para llevarlos a sus colonias y las de otros paises. A no ser que te falte una parte de la historia.
Best wishes ❤️
One word BRILLLLLLLLLLLLLLIANT
As an Argentine I feel sorry not only for the war but also for having left mines there, however there is something I do not agree with, one cannot invade one's own territory. Peace.
Then you will agree the country which you live in is stolen land. ..stolen from the indigenous tribes.
@@loyalist5736 for sure, Fortunately the government is giving them back their lands.
Best give Argentina back to its indigenous people & return to Spain!! The Falklands will always be British! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
LOL! it was not nor ever will be Argentinaian territory. This is one issue your Latino stubbornness will have to go unrequited. Tacitly, every single Argie who supported this illegal and immoral invasion also supported the dirty war and the sons and daughters of those mothers who have died or will die not knowing where their children lie buried by murderous thugs dressed in glitzy uniforms.
Were I you, I would focus on what your own people did to your own people and not raise my shamed head until all of that is sorted out. No one wants Argies in charge - w e've all seen what Argies are capable of.
Wake up fool
From Hungary. British but not English. Even in Britain England has been silenced. Who is next for the chop?
¡¡¡MALVINAS ARGENTINAS!!!
Hahahahaha

@@josedro Cuanto rencor con Argentina. Complejo de ibferioeridad. Viven obsecionados y apoyan al colonialismo. Unicos en America. Tomen nota que su gobierno oficialmente apoya a Argentina.
How does a normal English bloke end up on the Falkland Islands?
I’d like to know, which islanders voted to become Argentinian? It was hopefully a mistake, on the voting form.
Argentine if you please!!
Como van a votar por ser ciudadanos argentinos, si era un comicio organizado por británicos para británicos, si solo estaban autorizados para votar los ciudadanos de ese pais. So los habitantes de Malvinas son los beneficiarios del accionar colonial y no sus víctimas. Si fueron implantados a partir de 1847 luego de la usurpación en 1833 por parte de Gran Bretaña a Argentina. y tampoco son una tercera parte en discordia, solo son una prolongación de Gran Bretaña a miles de kilómetros en America del Sur. Al día de hoy para Naciones Unidas sigue siendo una colonia, un territorio en disputa sujeto a la descolonización, y ningún organismo internacional ha reconocido como válido ese referéndum.
@@UncleBoko He was right first time - he can call them whatever he likes.
@@davesherry5384 Argentine is correct, and not the daily mirror version.
What would you like to do to the Inharmonic voter?
@16:32 This really makes me wonder who the 0.2 percenters in the Falklands are. I'm also wondering if there is a particular reason the word "conflict" is used about the events in the Falklands between April and June 1982, and not the term "war".
Politics.....pure politics
Politicians et al are scared to call the Argies murdering scum for fear of a diplomatic incident. I am not a politician.
Nobody declared war on either side.
It was called a conflict because it was a military engagement confined to a single location. If we had declared war on Argentina, then the RAF would have been permitted to bomb Buenos Aires.

Excellent presentation. The Falkland Islands presents a brilliant example of what the Commonwealth Of Nations is all about: People living and speaking freely without fear of repression. Argentina just doesn't get it.
That dream is called colonialism
@@agustingarcia9374 It's actually called Self Determination, both by the United Nations and the Internatlonal Court of Justice. And it isn't a dream.
@@CliSwe Don't worry, the United Nations still considers the islands as disputed territory. And it demands from both nations a DIALOGUE BETWEEN THEM.
@@CliSwe Of course colonialism is not a dream, it is a fact.
@@agustingarcia9374 Doesn't worry me in the least, that a bunch of isolated and delusional Latin-Americans refuse to listen to the rest of the world. Have a nice day. And stop shouting.

Shhh all that nationalist bravado didnt work out too well last time and now we have 2 huge super carriers stocked with F35 stealth jets , you wouldnt stand a chance.

@@robdee81 Moralmente Siempre Argentinas .
@@jorgemarachlian6250 no you invaded innocent civilians on OUR island , you can argue its yours but if thats true you should leave Argentina so the indigenous tribes can rule again. Falklands will forever remain British as long as the residents wish to and theres NOTHING your country can do about it.
@@jorgemarachlian6250 Ningun Moralmente!!.. Historicamente y Geograficamente les pertenecen a Argentina.
"Todo buén español, debe mear mirando Inglaterra" Blas de Lezo
Todo hispanoamericano debe hacerlo. Dios bendiga a los soldados argentinos caídos y a los que pelearon; vamos a volver a hacerlo, tarde o temprano.
Try it, please do try invading the Falkland Islands again. It would be incredibly amusing to watch on TV the RAF flying from Mt. Pleasant to destroy the poor excuse for a naval fleet that Argentina presently has. Imagine this will you, it would be like the sinking of the Belgrano but much bigger and more beautiful.
Maybe at least hold off and wait until you guys buy those shitty Chinese fighter jets as it would be entertaining to see news about them getting shot down too... or you could just I don't know like maybe as a nation all grow up and realize when you have been beaten in a fight that you were never on the right side of anyways.
@@snarkymatt585 ¡Oooohhh! ¡Que miedo! Jajajajaaa.
No lo vamos a intentar. Lo vamos a hacer en algún momento. Ahora no hay medios, ni oportunidad, ya los habrá.
No las vamos "invadir", las vamos a recuperar. Son nuestras, los británicos las invadieron y las ocupan.
Las batallas existen para tenerlas, no para ganarlas. Los británicos perdieron muchas batallas en la historia. ¿O Uds. solo pelean si pueden ganar? ...Tal vez si.
A lo mejor Putin indirectamente nos hace un favor. Como los prusianos se lo hicieron a Uds. en Waterloo o los Norteamericanos en la segunda Guerra Mundial.
Todos los Imperios han caído tarde o temprano.
LOL 😆😆😆😆
The best thing that ever happened to the FI was the war.
And, in a way to Argentina. At least it got rid of that murdering junta.
I like the way this video deceitfully shows The number of casualties. 800 on both sides. 649 Arg vs 255 Brits in pure Math is 904, this number makes many ppl happy.
Curiously Land mines pickers are like the New Zealand rugby team. Empires never change always play the same cards. Old dogs never learn new tricks.
UK Strategic Base for Scientific Research. yeah Yeah. Come on Be honest erase " For Scientific Research"
You really believe that bs
Pirates go home. Return to the North Atlántic
You mean all the Spanish people who invaded Argentina and killed the locals?
Hopefully one day it ends is modern colonialism that does so much damage to the peoples of the third world. I hope that one day the Argentine people will respect their national sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands.

Falklands Islands belong to the familys who have worked the land and lived and died there for generations , the choice was theirs and they chose to remain British , end of story.
@@robdee81 f... no
@@agustingarcia9374 Falklands ....yes and nothing you can do to change it now we have our brand new 2 supercarriers stocked full of F35 stealth jets. We are more capable now of fighting a war over there than back in the 80's , you would be beaten badly.
