Games on the Battlefield

About Games on the Battlefield

Built on archive footage – much of it previously unseen – this film reveals one of the most unexpected legacies of the First World War -- popular participation in sports, once the realm of the elite. For four years, sport represented a welcome respite from the killing fields of Europe.

Anne Bettenfeld and Christophe Duchiron directed Games on the Battlefield, a 2015 documentary war film. At 54 minutes long, it arrived in January 2015.

Kester Lovelace appears as Narrator, and Nicolas Medad as Narrator. Written by Anne Bettenfeld and Christophe Duchiron.
