In 1918, a deadly flu swept the globe—killing up to 6% of the world’s population in just 18 months. From crowded military camps to the trenches of WWI, this pandemic spread in silence, censored and denied by officials until it was far too late. Nicknamed the “Spanish Flu,” it touched every continent, reshaped medicine, and yet somehow has slipped from our collective memory.

We really enjoyed revisiting this series and getting to implement the viewer feedback that Rob had previously only been able to address in Lies. Original Lies video here: https://youtu.be/fyyes_IMNoo
