Peter Jackson produced and directed this amazing documentary about World War One. Combing through a hundred hours of original film footage stored in the Imperial War Museum in London, Mr. Jackson and his team narrowed it down to two hours, restored visuals, added sound and colorization.
It is truly a riveting experience that brings the war to life in a completely new way. The film is narrated by the actual voices of surviving veterans from the war that was recorded in the 1960's. Using the stories of these men, Mr. Jackson is able to create a flowing narrative that is just fascinating to watch and hear. Be warned, however, that the film does contain some horrific images.
Mr. Jackson introduces the film at the start and tells us that should we be interested, at the conclusion, there is a thirty minute "behind the scenes" of how the documentary was put together. It is definitely worth the extra time to watch true movie magic being made.
