Hopscotching across England, Germany, Poland, and France,
World on Fire is an adrenalized, emotionally gripping drama that follows the
intertwining fates of ordinary people pushed into the extraordinary
circumstances of a war they could never hope to stop. Dabbling in secret
marriages, shamed pregnancies and forbidden love affairs in between the
occasional battle sequence, World on Fire offers a more intimate exploration of
wartime life than is typically portrayed in World War II dramas. Simultaneously
fast-paced and complex thanks to its sprawling cast and subplots, this series
keeps the focus firmly on the other cost of war: the end of regular life,
normal worries, and everyday cares, possibly forever. After a three-year
hiatus, the second season of World on Fire is now available for streaming.
Catch up on the first season and join us for this special screening of the
first episode of the second season.
