They Shall Not Grow Old [DVD]

Peter Jackson brings to life the people who can best tell the story of World War I: the men who were there. Driven by a personal interest in the conflict, Jackson sets out to explore the day-to-day experience of its combatants in the They Shall Not Grow Old DVD.

Using state of the art technology to restore original archival footage that is more than a 100-years old, this documentary brings to life the men who fought in WWI.

With materials from the BBC and Imperial War Museums’ archives, the voices of the men who fought recount the reality of war on the front line; their attitudes to the conflict; how they ate; slept and formed friendships, as well what their lives were like away from the trenches during periods of downtime.

Peter Jackson uses the voices of the veterans combined with original archival footage to bring to life the reality of war on the front line for a whole new generation. Footage has been colorized and transformed with modern production techniques to present never-before-seen detail!
