That’s your new binge-watch sorted!
Why This Matters
This isn’t your grandpa’s history lesson. For the first time, CMG unveils jaw-dropping archival gems from Russia, the U.S., U.K., and Japan – including narration by Red Star Over China author Edgar Snow and never-before-seen shots from legendary photographers like Robert Capa. Talk about a global collab! 🌐🤝
More Than Battles
The series zooms in on China’s role as the Eastern Front powerhouse, spotlighting how ordinary people turned the tide against fascism. Spoiler alert: tissues recommended for the sacrifice scenes. 💔➡️💪
Pro tip: Catch the CCTV-1 premiere at 8 PM (Aug 26) or stream it later – because history class just got a Netflix-level upgrade. 📅🍿
