Gallipoli (2005)
Member Rating:  
Produced over the course of six years, drawing on over seventy archives in Europe and beyond, and researched with over sixteen international historians to ensure the it was as accurate as possible, this documentary from director Tolga Örnek draws on the diaries, letters, and documents of average soldiers in order to emphasize the historical importance of Gallipoli. By using materials from soldiers on all sides of the conflict, Örnek's film approaches the subject from an objective vantage point; never sacrificing historical fact for dramatic impact. In exploring the conflict through the perspectives of two British, three New Zealand, three Australian, and two Turkish soldiers, the filmmakers gradually break through the soldiers' dutiful exteriors to show exactly how they felt it from a human standpoint. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    Amazing documentary, and it will really alter your perception of Winston Churchill and remind you of the blunders that await troops of infantry men when politicos are simply looking at pawns on a map. The documentary was exceptionally balanced and cast no side in an evil light, which is odd for a documentary about any major war. Tolga Örnek did a fine job in directing this wonderful piece. A definite watch for history buffs, and Sam Neill lends his voice to the narration.

    I read Leon Uris' "Redemption", so I had to see this. It truthfully desplayed the horror that Uris portrayed in his book. It is hard to believe mankind does this. Great for historians.
