Miniseries

A look at the evolution of the film industry and the role it played amid the backdrop of the Second World War and a fast-changing world. Clips from All Quiet On The Western Front (1930), The Triumph of the Will (1935), La Grande Illusion (1937), Confessions of a Nazi Spy (1939), The Great Dictator (1940), Night Train to Munich (1940), Dunkirk (1958) and more.

With the whole world at war, the USA and the UK join forces both in action and on the big screen.

The horrors of Nazi Holocaust are revealed and filmed by some of the world’s leading film directors. Downfall, Judgment at Nuremberg, The Young Lions and Schindler’s List tell the misery, tragedy, and shame of the death camps of the final solution. The war continues in the Pacific, with final battles such as Okinawa. This story is told in a John Wayne classic, and from both sides with Eastwood’s duet of films (Flags of Our Fathers and Letters from Iwo Jima).
