Blur to show human cost of war

Blur are using their latest video to highlight the human cost of war featuring fly-on-the-wall footage of a serving woman marine.

The track, Out of Time, uses documentary images shot on a US Navy warship on duty in the Gulf to show how escalating tensions affect the armed forces.

Singer Damon Albarn has been a vocal anti-war campaigner and has paid for ads in magazines to air his views.

Director John Hardwick based his promo on a film made for the BBC's Correspondent series, shot last year and exploring the lives of men and women serving on a warship.

He put together the moving story of a young woman, separated from her partner who is serving on another ship and the young son she has had to leave behind at home.
