The Gallipoli campaign of World War I was so controversial and devastating, it changed the face of battle for ever. While many films have focused on the strategies employed by the countries involved, this is the first time the campaign has been viewed through the eyes of those soldiers who fought it - from both sides of the conflict. Using their diaries, letters, photographs and memoirs, acclaimed director, Tolga Ornek, traces the personal journeys of Australian, New Zealand, British and Turkish soldiers, from innocence and patriotism to hardship and heartbreak. The experience is revealed in their own words, while dramatic recreations place you in the heart of the battle. It is a profound, moving and powerful place to be.Beautifully narrated by Jeremy Irons and Sam Neill, Gallipoli :The Final Conflict changes the way we see war by giving a voice to the men who experienced it first-hand: ordinary men, forced to face the extraordinary.

This documentary gives a fresh new look at the Gallipoli Campaign, now including the Turkish story as well as the Anzacs'. Several top historians give us extra angles and views on the Campaign and its horrors and reasons why it failed so horribly. The documentary also includes some poignant and well-organised re-enactments, such as the flies crawling and drowning in the sticky jam, and the rats that infested the trenches, and it makes one to shudder at the conditions the soldiers had to endure at Gallipoli, especially since they had so little in the way of a good diet, what with the severe shortage of food and an extremely limited diet. Recommended highly.
