War
'DISMAYED' a short student film set during World War One using toy soldiers, lighting and cinematography to recreate the horror, distortion and isolation of the war. The idea of this isn't really to represent a plot as such, more to present and display provocative emotions to the audience and invoke their feelings towards the film and as well as the horrors of World War One.

A two-hour documentary which recreates for the viewer one of the greatest battles in Canadian military history.

Canadian military accomplishments in the last hundred days of World War I, when the German Army was destroyed, surpassed those of any other army.

IMDB 10 | Mar , 1999
Canada was led to war by a bigoted, ignorant, self-obsessed Minister of Militia, who may well have been clinically insane, but the importance of Canada's contribution in that war owes a great deal to him. The man of course, was Colonel - later made Lieutenant General by his own hand - Sam Hughes. Sam's Army is a compelling portrait of a complex man and the formidable military he built. Sam Hughes was not your standard-issue military leader. Canada's World War I Minister of Militia and Defence concentrated power in his own hands, insisted that the Canadian military use the ill-conceived Ross rifle and liberally promoted his cronies. But there was no denying Hughes was a visionary. He assembled the world's largest-ever volunteer army and bucked superiors to keep his ferocious fighting force together in one Canadian Corps.William Kelly's War
