Extraordinary Portraits (2022)

Episode Overview

Thomas Croft, the creative mind behind Portraits for NHS Heroes, encounters Mark, a former Royal Marine who endured a life-changing explosion during a foot patrol in Afghanistan in 2007. As a result of his injuries, Mark faced a triple amputation, losing both legs and his right arm. Yet, he has transformed his trauma into strength, becoming a beacon of hope as a charitable fundraiser, mentor, and role model for fellow amputees, as well as an ambassador for the Royal Marines Association. Thomas, known for capturing deep emotions in his work, joins Mark in a thought-provoking discussion about bravery, masculinity, and family.
