Synopsis

Back by popular demand and to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the theatrical release, They Shall Not Grow Old is returning to select cinemas! Academy Award-winner Peter Jackson’s acclaimed documentary brings to life the soldiers and events of the Great War in a way the world has never seen before. Using state-of-the-art technology to restore original archival footage, which is more than a 100-years old, Jackson brings to life the people who can best tell this story: the men who were there. After months immersed in the BBC and Imperial War Museums’ archives, narratives and strategies on how to tell this story began to emerge for Jackson. Using the voices of the men involved, the film explores the reality of war on the front line. The event includes an exclusive introduction from Jackson, along with a Q&A diving deep into the details of how the documentary was made, its historical accuracy and why the project was so important to him.

The film was an epic telling of the Great War from the British soldier's point of view. It deals with the war from mustering in to reintegrating back to civilian life. It was very informative, heart wrenching, and inspirational for our generation and generations to come…

These brave lads went off for a grand adventure, but experienced the most brutal and horrible war imaginable. You will see life in the trenches never viewed before. War is hell.

stunning visuals. Hopefully will awaken interest in the war that has been ignored by modern historians. The perfectly done colorization brings the events to life.

Jackson's masterpiece. Focused, intense history of British soldiers in WW1 from induction in the army until the end of the war. Technical achievements made the old archival footage come to life.

It's not a movie with a storyline and characters. It is the voices, images, and stories of those who were there brought to life with vivid colorization. In two words: poignant and haunting.
