This stirring account of Canada's heroic effort in World War I is told through the words of ordinary soldiers, leaders and civilians. The series contains three films - narrated by Paul Gross - on the First World War, and is the first series that tells the complete story of Canada's achievements in WWI.
Sam's Army - The story of Sam Hughes, the bigoted, ignorant, self-obsessed Minister of Militia, whose enthusiasm for war created Canada's first Expeditionary Force.
The Battle of Vimy Ridge - A recreation of one of the greatest battles in Canadian military history.
The Last 100 Days - The story of Canada's outstanding military achievements in the last hundred days of World War I.
