This documentary portrays one of the most devastating battles of ancient times: the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, which played a decisive role in shaping modern-day Europe. It was the worst defeat ever suffered by the Roman Empire: 30,000 men cut down in the forests of Germania, betrayed by Arminius, a man the Romans had trained and trusted. The ancient Roman-Germanic world is brought to life by CGI technology, gritty battle scenes and powerful dialogues. (official distributor synopsis)
