Even though the technology existed to produce color at the time, most of the surviving films and photographs of the Great War were shot in black and white. Fortunately the advance of technology has allowed historians to revisit these amazing images and present them in color, resulting in a powerful documentary which provides a detailed look at the Great War as experienced through the eyes of those who were there. In addition, rare images produced by pioneers of color photography at work on both sides of the lines are featured, along with vivid works of war artists-both official and unofficial.
