The year is 1859, the warfare has emerged from old large-scale battles to smaller fights, but the treatment of the wounded hasn't been improved.
Henry Dunant, who is not a doctor but more like a 19th century "Indiana Jones", sees the cruelty of war and decides to fight it.
Most people probably know the base rules of the red cross. This movie shows the difficulties how it got founded, and how the life of his founder was.
The movie had a quite large budget for an historical-TV-production, and I loved to see it. Maybe more interesting if you're interested in history or/and are swiss, because most parts of the movie plays in Geneva, but it will be definitely a good buy.
Both thumbs up, I will recommend it everyone and especially people who thinks that the movie might be historic crap might be positively surprised.
