They Shall Not Grow Old

From Academy Award-winning filmmaker Peter Jackson (The Lord of the Rings trilogy) comes the groundbreaking documentary They Shall Not Grow Old. Applying state-of-the-art restoration, colorization, and 3D technologies to century-old footage—carefully chosen from hundreds of hours of original Great War film held in the archives of the Imperial War Museum—Jackson has created an intensely gripping, immersive, and authentic cinematic experience. By restoring the original footage to a standard never seen before, the human face of WWI emerges with vivid clarity through the fog of time. Jackson captures the day-to-day experience of soldiers and reveals the reality of war for those on the front line: their attitudes about the conflict; the functions of daily life in the trenches; their camaraderie, and their need for humor amidst the horror.
