They Shall Not Grow Old

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.
