In LIFE ON DUTY we follow the fascinating stories of characters from several emergency public services. We do that by focusing not only on their action packed professional routine as seen in other 911 shows, but also on their private lives and the personal price they have to pay for their demanding careers. The production followes these people almost 24/7 for months in order to reveal the human beings inside the uniforms.

This returnable prime time observational documentary format, structured very much as a drama series is a new concept in documentary storytelling.
