This holiday Christmas documentary explores this unique event. WWI began in August 1914, and by December all thoughts of quick victory had faded. Fighting was most fierce in a thin strip of land called the Western Front. According to history, both sides believed that this war would be over by Christmas, but on Christmas Eve 1914, soldiers were still facing each other across the "no man's land" in France and Belgium. The WW1 Christmas Truce of 1914 is a now legendary holiday story; a glimmer of peace and goodwill amidst the chaos of war. But how did it happen? Watch and see.
