- Synopsis:
"The Great War" is one of the most ambitious and prestigious series ever produced by the BBC. Drawing on over one million feet of film, hundreds of exclusive interviews and contemporary diaries and letters, this documentary masterpiece is by far the most comprehensive film history of World War One ever made. A truly epic production lasting over seventeen hours, it was surely the inspiration for 'A World at War', which it closely resembles.
