Unity (1918) Synopsis:
In the fall of 1918, a world ravaged by four years of war was suddenly hit by a mysterious and deadly plague – the “Spanish Flu”. The illness struck not only the young and the elderly, but also people in the prime of their lives, advancing rapidly toward mortality in its victims. This brought the terror, the panic, the horror and the sense of helplessness of the “Great War” home with the returning soldiers – more people died of this epidemic than had been killed in battle throughout the armed conflict.
