Against All Odds: The Quest For Malta (2007) : distribution, intrigue et streaming

Released in 2007, Against All Odds: The Quest For Malta is a notable film directed by David Serge, running about 53 minutes.

What it’s about. This historical documentary addresses a subject typically given short shrift in discussions of World War II: the role of Malta in pivotal Second World War battles. The program argues that because of the island's key location - sandwiched, as it is, in-between Southern Europe and Northern Africa - it inevitably impeded Axis and Allied reinforcement deliveries time and again. As a result, the Maltese people found themselves caught in the middle of a crossfire when they had virtually nothing to do with the war itself, and suffered immensely for their geographic placement. In telling this seldom-heard story, the program draws on first-person interviews, CGI animations, and dramatic recreations.

How it landed. With an audience score of 5.0/10, Against All Odds: The Quest For Malta has proved divisive with audiences.
