Read Film details

Peter Jackson talks about his first world war documentary, They Shall Not Grow Old, in which the director and other filmmakers used state-of-the-art restoration techniques to colour 100-year-old footage and employed forensic lip readers to help produce new audio.

Jackson, whose grandfather fought in WW1, talks about the responsibilities inherent in making a war documentary and why today's teenagers should be given an accurate portrayal of war.
