The documentary "Asunder" explores the impact of World War I on a quintessential British town, where men were fighting abroad and women and children were left behind. It uses archive footage and audio to reveal the stories of people from Tyneside and Wearside, showcasing the challenges they faced, including bombs falling on Britain, conscientious objectors sentenced to death, and women taking on new roles in the workforce. The film moves from the pre-war Edwardian era to the Battle of the Somme, a traumatic event that resulted in over one million soldiers being captured, wounded, or killed.
