In our first double episode, we explore two World War One films made almost 15 years apart, both of which begin with a true story and build from there. Recent blockbuster 1917 tells of a desperate flight across No-Man’s-Land to deliver a message, while Joyeux Noel incorporates French, German, and Scottish perspectives in recounting the famed Christmas Truce of 1914. In this episode, we dig into some common themes between the two films.
