academy award winner jeremy irons and golden globe nominee sam neill narrate this account of the
historical battle. it began as a demonstration against the ottoman empire by great britain and her
allies. nine months later it had become one of the fiercest and most controversial battles of the
first world war. produced over six years and in seven different countries, "gallipoli" is the story
of ordinary men forced by history to do extraordinary things. the courage with which they faced
hardship and the sacrifices they made are brought to life through their own words. newly uncovered
diaries, letters, and photographs from both sides; interviews with international experts;
on-location landscape, underwater, and aerial photography; 3-d computer animations; and dramatic
re-enactments of trenches and battles make this docu-drama not only the newest film on the subject
but also the most comprehensive.
