The Fall of the Ottoman Empire (2015)
The Fall of the Ottoman Empire is not really a movie, but rather a two part French language documentary that they showed on the big screen at the WWI marathon at the BYUIC. This was very informative I'm glad a saw it, it cleared up a number of things for me, including why the Ottomans allied with the Germans in The Great War, and why there was that railroad line in the desert that gets attacked in Lawrence of Arabia (it had been build to carry pilgrims to Mecca). Not exceptional as a film, but for me very much worth seeing. ***
