It uses a mix of fictionalized scenes , archive footage, and animation. All episodes were directed by Jan Peter, series authors were Jan Peter and Yury Winterberg. In a dramatic advisory capacity, Dutch producer and screenwriter Maarten van der Duin and BBC-author Andrew Bampfield worked on the film's development. The series is based on an idea by Gunnar Dedio, producer at the film company LOOKS Leipzig and Ulrike Dotzer, the Head of Department ARTE at Norddeutscher Rundfunk. The individual episodes of the series tell the story of the First World War, not from the perspective of politicians and the military; but from the perspective of soldiers, housewives, factory workers, nurses and children. In total there are 14 main characters. Meaningful scenes from their lives are re-enacted and intertwined. The result is not only a political or military history of the First World War, but a story that poignantly captures the feelings and moods of the people. ---------- La Première Guerre Mondiale racontée par les journaux de guerre et la correspondance de 14 témoins et acteurs du conflit, célèbres ou i nconnus, hommes ou femmes, adultes ou enfants, autrichiens, allemands, Italiens, russes, Français, Britanniques ou Canadiens.
