Go behind the front line and discover the true bravery and sacrifice of the nurses, medics, volunteers and doctors who tend the wounded and risk everything to save even just one single life. These compassionate professionals work tirelessly to heal the bodies and souls of men who manage to get out of the trenches alive.
Their tented field hospital is a frontier: between the battlefield and home front, between the old rules, hierarchies and a new way of thinking. Their stories are tender, brutal, heart-breaking, heart-warming, funny and surreal. Their endurance and supreme courage is what keeps hope and the dream of a future alive.
This is the First World War as never experienced before, a breath-taking journey through tragedy and triumph written by Sarah Phelps and starring Oona Chaplin, Hermione Norris, Kevin Doyle and Kerry Fox.
