• Documentary
• Action & Adventure

It documents the efforts of a youth organisation to bring history to life and engage young people in a groundbreaking way – namely by learning history through real-life simulations and first-hand experience. The brainchild of a group of former paratroopers and youth workers, Battle of Arnhem is a phenomenally ambitious and daring project. The plan is to take a group of typical teenagers and train them to recreate the famous September 1944 aerial parachute assault on Arnhem in the Netherlands.
