    GIST

    1918年,第一次世界大战结束。数以百万计的人死亡,世界因战争而筋疲力尽。可惜不消多久,新一轮的恐慌席卷全球,一种可怕的病毒出现,杀死了超过五千万人,这就是西班牙流感。这纪录片透过个案重组与及目击者,包括科学家、医护人员、军人、普罗市民和政客的亲身经历,再一次将昔日的惨况呈现观众眼前,让大家了解当年人类如何面对病毒的袭击和寻找治疗的方法。一个世纪后的今天,希望人类藉此历史吸取教训,有助大家应对未来全球流感的大爆发。

    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.
