Archived footage, and interviews come together to show a compelling documentary of what chemical warfare was like during the first World War.
Imagine you are 16-years-old. You have signed up for the military, illegally, in order to support your country in the war that is being called “The War to End All Wars,” by the newspapers. You have no idea what kind of horrors you are signing up to see, but you know that you have to be there to fight for your very way of life. At just 16 years of age, you find yourself in a trench, the most experienced fighter in your platoon is a 22-year-old Sergeant, and on your first day he throws you a rubber mask with two eye holes and a long tube going down to something that looks like a filter.
