Transforming annal footage more than than a century sometime, Peter Jackson brings to life the people who tin can best tell the story of World War I: the men who were there.

Employing land-of-the-fine art engineering to transform sound and moving paradigm archive footage more a century erstwhile, Peter Jackson brings to life the people who can best tell the story of Globe War I: the men who were there.

Driven by a personal involvement in the conflict, Jackson sets out to explore the day-to-day experience of its combatants. Immersed for months in the BBC and Imperial War Museum archives, Jackson created narratives and strategies regarding how this story should exist told. Using only the voices of those involved, the film explores the reality of war on the front line: their attitudes to the conflict, how they ate, rested and formed friendships in those moments between battles, as well equally their hopes and dreams for the future. Each frame of the motion picture has been hand-colourised past Jackson'due south squad, the footage 3D-digitised, transformed with modern post-production techniques, enabling these soldiers to walk and talk amongst united states of america.

Reaching into the mists of fourth dimension, Jackson aims to give these men voices, investigate the hopes and fears of these veterans that survived and were able to tell their stories, and detail the humility and humanity of those who represented a generation forever inverse by the destruction of a global war.
