The documentary, titled They Shall Not Grow Old, combines original footage from Imperial War Museums’ film archive along with audio provided by the BBC archives.
They Shall Not Grow Old is produced by Jackson with Clare Olssen.
The video footage has been both colorized and converted into 3D, and the voices of actual veterans combined with archival footage to bring the reality of WWI front-and-center like never before.
Deadline reports that the new WWI documentary directed by Peter Jackson (the Lord of the Rings trilogy) will premiere at the BFI London Film Festival on October 16th.
