In this 4-minute student-led film, we uncover the story of Henry Gunther, the last American soldier killed in World War I just minutes before the armistice. Using archival photos and historic footage, this short film brings his bravery and the final moments of the war to life. This film was created as part of The History Award, an ambitious 2024 pilot by Sky HISTORY in partnership with Dame Alice Owen’s School. Year 9 pupils were challenged to craft 3–5 minute WWI films, unearthing untold stories, exploring family histories, and asking bold questions. Students worked with the Hearst Networks creative team, learning how to shoot, edit, and bring history to life. Our ambition is simple - to inspire young filmmakers to bring history to life.
