Newfoundland at Armageddon Synopsis
On July 1st, 1916, the Newfoundland Regiment took part in a massive First World War offensive on the Somme, led by the British.

Using a technique that brings new meaning to reenactment, McKenna recruits descendants of soldiers who fought this battle, offering them a unique opportunity to relive the experience of their ancestors in trenches built specifically for the film.
