Commissioned to commemorate the centennial of the 1918 Armistice, director Peter Jackson made a documentary paying homage to the British soldiers who took part in the First World War. Using remastered original footage, digitally colored, and converted in 3D, as well as recordings of interviews to veterans, and new sound design, the director achieved to bring the historic material back to life, in order to reflect on the experience lived by the soldiers, who are presented from the anonymity to which the war dragged them in. The film shows the comradery in the training camps as well as the horror of the trenches infested by rats, mud, and death.
