14: Diaries of the Great War

2014 · 1 season

A somber, immersive chronicle that makes history feel personal and devastating, blending reenactment and archive into a haunting elegy.

Overview: When war broke out in Europe in 1914, most people thought the conflict would be over by Christmas; they could not imagine how wrong they were. An attack in Sarajevo ended up becoming a snowball that swept the world: a new kind of warfare had begun, waged with techniques and means never seen before. By November 1918, ten million people had died and the political map of the planet had been redrawn.
How it feels: Bleak, melancholic, tense and earnest. Measured and needs your attention.
About: War, death, grief, survival
Content: Strong violence. Mild gore, sexual content and language.
