50 %|Jan 2, 1918|Drama, History, War

This epic traces, from the Beginning, the lineage of the race of peace-loving people. Mankind at its best is highlighted as greatness of character across the centuries is displayed: Noah heeding God's command, Moses leading the Israelities, Jesus Christ dying to save humanity and promote His message of peace. Moving into our modern epoch: Columbus's discovery of America, the Declaration of Independence, the Emancipation Proclamation; A race of free humans committed to the proliferation of peace and freedom. What becomes of this race when autocratic powers threaten democracy in the time of the first World War?
