Pilot Staff-Brigadier Sheikh Ahmed bin Tahnoun bin Mohammed Al Nahyan, Chairman of the National and Reserve Service Authority, attended the launch yesterday evening of the documentary film, "UAE's Youth in National Service", part one of which will be broadcast on National Geographic Abu Dhabi Channel this evening.

The film offers a realistic view of the lives of six young Emiratis moving from young adulthood to become able-bodied men, preparing to protect the security and pride of their homeland as new recruits in the UAE's National Service.

The film will be broadcast as a series of four episodes exclusively on the National Geographic Channel to highlight one of National Service's batches aged between 18 and 30 years, and will also shed light on the harsh basic military training, both physically and mentally, which they underwent for three months, from the perspective of 6 of the youths.
