A Guernsey film-maker is filming a new documentary on a veteran and his remarkable life story called, ‘Unbreakable: The Mark Ormrod Story’.

Mark Ormrod was serving in Afghanistan when, on Christmas Eve 2007, he stepped on an IED.

Remarkably, he survived. He was the first British triple amputee to survive the Afghanistan war.

Gaz Papworth, filmmaker and director at Element Films and friend of Mr Ormrod, said: “He died a few times and then they saved him. He was told he would never walk again.”

But that didn’t stop him.

“He basically said, ‘That’s not how it’s going to go’. So he went out to America, found a specialist that had also been injured and lost his legs above the knee and over time, over many months, he learned how to walk and run again.”

“He’s now a brown belt in jiu-jitsu. He’s just a complete machine athlete and doesn’t give up.”

Mr Ormrod would go on to compete in the Invictus Games, winning four gold medals.

Mr Papworth pitched the documentary to Mr Ormrod earlier this year and he hopes he will complete it early next year.

“I’ve sat down with mark and I’ve interviewed him on camera about everything that happened to him.

“It’s basically his life story. So a bit from when he grew up, a bit when the accident happened, recovery, and then going on to where he is now.

“It’s archive footage of him back in the day and all sorts, so it’s a very interesting film.”

Mr Papworth has also interviewed big names as part of the project.

Last week, he interviewed Eddie Hall, a former “World’s Strongest Man”, who had Mr Ormrod on his podcast.

He’s even interviewed ‘SAS: Who Dares Wins’ host, Jason Fox, who is an ex-marine.

“Because Mark is well known in that sort of community of people, it actually made it easier. Mark actually had their contact details anyway. So that finalised it,” Mr Papworth explained.

Mr Ormrod is a well-known figure with more than 130,000 followers on Instagram and travelling the country, delivering talks about his life and how he overcame such difficulties.

“It’s pretty crazy, surreal, interviewing them, actually, looking back,” Mr Papworth said.

The documentary is being primarily funded by crowdfunding through its GoFundMe page.
