Oscar-winning director Peter Jackson, the man behind The Lord of the Ring and Hobbit films, is no stranger to epic, ambitious projects, but this documentar­y may be his most remarkable to date as he sets out to bring the First World War to life in a way that’s never been seen before. The filmmaker has used original footage from the Imperial War Museums’ film archive and audio from the BBC to show the realities of war. That might not sound so different from many other programmes about the conflict, but Jackson has colourised the film and transforme­d it with modern production techniques.
