The Guns of August
Using rare archive footage, this documentary tells the story of World War I. The film shows the rivalry between the various royalty in Europe leading up to the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand and the failed attempts to avoid the war that followed. It then goes on to show German atrocities as they invade Belgium and France, and how incompetent leaders on both sides cost the lives of millions of men. Based on Barbara Tuchman's Pulitzer Prise-winning bestseller.
