Comments from real-world viewers:

"Excellent presentation of history that is vanishing all too quickly. First-ever recordings of period music were an especially effective touch."

- M. R., USA

"...it’s a terrific history lesson. I really had no understanding of this war and you certainly filled in a lot of the historical gaps.

"This should be required viewing in history classes. The colorization of the photos is quite effective and does help put the war experience in a visual context that young people can understand."

- T.H., American Filmmaker

"The documentary created a very visual picture for me, which made it very easy to comprehend. The songs, photos, and people in the video all made it feel as realistic as possible."

- Z.K., American high school student

"Everything is well explained... I think than even people who know nothing about WWI should understand."

- C.H., French Filmmaker

"How moving it is to see and hear these two veterans! I’ve learnt a lot from your film and for sure I will tell many people to watch it."

- F.L., French historic guide

"Hello, thank you for your documentary. I enjoyed it very much. Keep it up! Cheers from Germany."
