Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Aimed squarely at history and war-film fans and anyone who likes learning something new. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost. A good follow-up to Shoah or They Shall Not Grow Old.
The mood
Eye-opening.
The pace
Well paced for a documentary, at 56 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

A young woman researches the hidden story of Indian soldiers who came to fight in France and Belgium during the World War I. The presence of these 140,000 soldiers in Europe is a virtually unknown fact of history.
