    GIST

    1918年,第一次世界大戰結束。數以百萬計的人死亡,世界因戰爭而筋疲力盡。可惜不消多久,新一輪的恐慌席捲全球,一種可怕的病毒出現,殺死了超過五千萬人,這就是西班牙流感。這紀錄片透過個案重組與及目擊者,包括科學家、醫護人員、軍人、普羅市民和政客的親身經歷,再一次將昔日的慘況呈現觀眾眼前,讓大家了解當年人類如何面對病毒的襲擊和尋找治療的方法。一個世紀後的今天,希望人類藉此歷史吸取教訓,有助大家應對未來全球流感的大爆發。

    It is 1918 and the end of WWI. Millions have died, and the world is exhausted by war. But soon a new horror is sweeping the world, a terrifying virus that will kill more than fifty million people - the Spanish flu. Using dramatic reconstruction and eyewitness testimony from doctors, soldiers, civilians and politicians, this one-off special brings to life the onslaught of the disease, the horrors of those who lived through it and the efforts of the pioneering scientists desperately looking for the cure. Narrated by Christopher Eccleston, the film also asks whether, a century later, the lessons learnt in 1918 might help us fight a future global flu pandemic.
