The Rise And Fall Of Ben Roberts-Smith

Ben Roberts-Smith became one of the most famous and controversial military figures in modern Australian history, first celebrated as a highly decorated SAS soldier and later placed at the centre of major legal and moral questions about Australia’s war in Afghanistan. In this video, we look at his rise from the Australian Army and SASR to national prominence after receiving the Victoria Cross for Australia, before tracing how investigative reporting, civil court findings, and later criminal charges transformed his public image. It is the story of a soldier whose name once symbolised battlefield gallantry, and who now stands as one of the most contested figures in Australia’s recent military history.
