In April 1945, the Nazis organise one of the final acts of the Third Reich – a concert by the Berlin Philharmonic, including the last scene of the opera Die Gotterdammerung, which features a suicide at its center. It’s a clear sign that Hitler and many of his supporters are going to end it all. Most of Germany is occupied by invading Allied forces. A two-million-strong Soviet army is now just a mile from Hitler’s hiding place. With the Nazi regime disintegrating, most of Hitler’s deputies are busy making plans to try to survive the end of the war. Only his most die-hard loyalists stay by his side. Show more Show less

This is the true, and often shocking, story of the modern world at war; a revealing portrayal of the people who fight for their land, their religion and their ideas, and sometimes, just their survival. Following individual fighters in 16 wars over the same 24-hour period, top observational cameramen and directors document the stories of a range of fighters, from child soldiers to women commandos, from UN peacekeepers to army conscripts, in conflicts from Burma to Sudan, Laos to Colombia, cutting between characters as the day unfolds. This is a film about individuals: their reasons for fighting, their hopes for the future and the fear, excitement, and often banality of life in a war zone. Show more Show less
