HOLY NIGHT
Limited Series; Teleplays by Eric Deacon & Katherine Orrison
Season One starts in 1914 at the outbreak of WWI and follows three groups of unrelated people; English, German and Indians, who go to war and find themselves confronting each other and the horrors of trench warfare. At its heart lies a weave of intimate stories about ordinary people, who experience a transformational and seminal moment in history; The Christmas Truce of 1914. More than a war story it’s also a story of friendship, courage and love. Not least the forbidden love between a disillusioned Indian Officer and a free-spirited English nurse. What happens in No Man’s Land will not only change their lives forever but also future generations; as we travel with them over Season Two and Three, towards WWII, sharing their challenges as they rebuild their lives and their societies.
