The harrowing true story of the flu that decimated the world's population immediately after the carnage of World War I. This film focuses on one northern city and its attempts to lockdown factories, stadiums and celebrations as the men returned from war. It also looks at the confusion amongst the medical profession, as they realised that it wasn't just the virus that was killing the victims, but their own immune systems. A horrifically prescient film that shows precisely why one should pay heed to the lessons of history.
