    昔日歐洲「30年戰爭」的倖存者稱他們所經歷過的漫長戰爭歲月為「鐵器時代」,這場歐洲戰爭從1618年禍延至1648年。對於當時的人來說,這是一場巨大的災難性事件。也是一場關於宗教和歐洲權力的鬥爭。一切始於波希米亞的叛亂分子和哈布斯堡皇帝之間的衝突,後來逐漸演變成大規模的戰爭。數百萬人因此而喪生。整個大陸的人口受戰禍破壞,疾病和飢荒而銳減。不過在這場戰爭結束時,一個建立新歐洲的想法出現了。

    這部劇情式紀錄片從經歷過戰爭之人的角度重述三十年戰爭的故事,這些人包括士兵彼得·哈根多夫,「冬季女王」伊利沙伯·斯圖亞特,著名的藝術家彼得·保羅·魯本斯和「灰衣主教」若瑟神父。透過他們令人難忘的遭遇、信件和日記,刻劃出這個悽美感人和紛亂的大時代。

    "Age of Iron" is what the survivors called the Thirty Years' War, which raged in Europe from 1618 to 1648. For the people at the time, the war was a huge catastrophic event. It was a war about religion and about power in Europe.  What began as a regional conflict between Bohemian rebels and the Habsburg emperor gradually became a conflagration of huge proportions. Millions of people lost their lives. Entire regions were depopulated by destruction, disease and famine. But by the end of this war, the idea of a new Europe had emerged.

    This documentary drama series tells the story of the Thirty Years War from the perspective of the people who experienced it: like the soldier Peter Hagendorf, the "Winter Queen" Elisabeth Stuart, the famous artist Peter Paul Rubens and the "Grey Eminence" Father Joseph. Their gripping accounts, letters and diary entries are condensed into a fascinating and emotive portrait of the time.
