37 Days explores with breathless tension the tragedy of how Europe's old conventions of secret diplomacy fell apart - or were destroyed. With stunning performances and a fresh angle on an iconic story, this fascinating and provocative factual drama unlocks the mystery of the war's origins, overturning common assumptions about its inevitability, demonstrating that World War One did not happen by chance, and nor was it a foregone conclusion - it took considerable effort and staggering bad luck, to disastrous and tragic effect.

Rated PG.
