The Eagle and the Lion: Hitler vs Churchill

2017 · 95 min

A sober, archive-driven documentary that feels like a tense history lecture, weighing two colossal egos against the backdrop of global catastrophe.

Genres
Documentary, History, War
Tagline
Two prominent leaders, two sworn enemies, destined to lead their people.
Overview
Winston Churchill, one of the most revered men of the twentieth century. Adolf Hitler, one of the most hated leaders in contemporary history. Between 1940 and 1945, these two enormously contradictory personalities faced each other in both politics and war. A clash of giants whose story begins in the trenches of the World War I and ends with the debacle of the World War II.
