Introduced by a Dr Peter Liddle presentation on collecting personal experiences from the Great War.  

Oscar winner Peter Jacksons (The Lord of the Rings trilogy) groundbreaking film presents an extraordinary new work showing the Great War as you have never seen it before.

Using state of the art technology to restore original footage, Jackson brings to life the people who can best tell this story: the men who were there. Using the voices of the men involved, the film explores the reality of war on the front line. Jackson and his team have used cutting edge techniques to make the images of a hundred years ago appear as if they were shot yesterday.

With thanks to Halifax Business Improvement District for their generous support.
