How do you make peace when all you want is revenge ?

In Paris 1919, director Paul Cowan takes us inside the peace talks that followed the First World War. For six months in 1919, Paris was the centre of the world. World leaders convened to broker peace "for all time." At the helm were the Big Four - U.S. president Woodrow Wilson along with the leaders of France, the U.K. and Italy.

Inspired by Margaret MacMillan's landmark book - hailed by The New York Times as a "blueprint of the political and social upheavals bedevilling the planet now" - Paris 1919 takes us inside this singular event with a vivid sense of character and narrative.
