At the start of the war in 1914, over thirteen lakh Indian soldiers began to be shipped overseas to fight alongside the British Army. Of them, 75,000 were never to return home, killed in combat on faraway battlefields. Using rare archival footage, first-person narratives, and expert testimonials, the impeccably-researched one-hour documentary investigates Indias role in the first global conflict. It also recognises and documents the sacrifices of thousands of Indian families, thus restoring to Indias unsung heroes, their glorious and rightful place in history.
