    Brief synopsis

    February 1916. World War I has been raging for two years and has killed over three million people. And yet, neither side has managed to gain the upper hand.
    The Germans, by mobilizing more artillery and men in Verdun than in any other offensive, aim to take destiny into their own hands and win the war. But the French will hold out. For three hundred days and nights, under a constant steel storm of sixty million shells, the Germans and the French fight it out, each determined to end the war.
    How did they survive this apocalypse?
    From a stock of over five hundred hours of restored and superbly colorised archival footage, APOCALYPSE Verdun by Isabelle Clarke and Daniel Costelle takes viewers on a ninety-minute journey into the heart of one of the greatest battles of all times.
