Canadian director Claude Guilmain presented his short film which pays tribute to the Canadian combatants in the First World War and traces the conflict through the writings of six Canadians who experienced it first-hand. Ninety years after the Armistice, these letters home, a war diary written in the heat of events, and archival film footage bring the conflict alive with a human face and heart.
