The Guns of August 1914 mark the start of events that would plunge the planet into its first worldwide war. In the first months following the outbreak of combat, hundreds of thousands of men died in the carnage. On the first eve of Christmas since the beginning of hostilities one small sector of the battlefield, Scots and French soldiers opposite Germans, spontaneously breaks out in peace in the true-event story of “Joyeux Noel.”

Complimentary refreshments and discussion follow the film.
