1918: The Flu That Nearly Ended Humanity

This short documentary revisits the 1918 influenza pandemic, the Spanish Flu that killed more people than the First World War it followed. It shows how a deadly virus swept the globe just as soldiers returned home, overwhelming communities already exhausted by conflict. In a compact runtime it captures the scale and horror of a catastrophe often overshadowed by the war. Gripping and sobering, it recovers a defining tragedy of the twentieth century.
