They shall not grow old, a documentary movie from Peter Jackson. He basically uses film from World War One and colourises it and adds voices to what were silent. It is available on ABC Iview at the moment. It isn't the first time I have seen it. It is extremely effective at presentlng the experience of war. Well worth watching. 10 out of 10. Smiley

This is the film where Jackson had lip readers examine the silent film and created the sound track?
