THEY SHALL NOT GROW OLD uses the voices of the veterans combined with original archival footage to bring to life the reality of war on the front line for a whole new generation. Footage has been colourised, converted to 3D and transformed with modern production techniques to present never before seen detail.
Created to mark the centenary of the First World War Armistice, the internationally renowned director Peter Jackson (The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings) combined his personal fascination with the period and his Academy Award winning directorial skills to bring the First World War to life in a way never seen before.
They Should Not Grow Old will premiere at the BFI London Film Festival on Tuesday October 16th, while Trafalgar Releasing will be simultaneously screening the film in 2D and 3D cinemas at venues across the UK, following by a post-screening Q&A with Jackson.
