The Flu That Killed 50 Million

In 1918, the world was ravaged by the Spanish flu, a virus that killed over 50 million people. A century later, the world is again facing a global pandemic, prompting the question: what lessons can be learned from the past to help us fight the current pandemic? This documentary uses dramatic reconstructions and eyewitness testimony to bring to life the horrors of the Spanish flu and the efforts of pioneering scientists who searched for a cure. Narrated by Christopher Eccleston, the film also explores how the lessons of 1918 might help us combat future pandemics.
