They Shall Not Grow Old runs from Monday, April 15 thru Wednesday, April 17. It screens Monday to Wednesday at 7pm with an additional screening on Wednesday at 4pm in Thalian Hall’s Main Theatre.
Using state-of-the-art technology and materials from the BBC and Imperial War Museum, filmmaker Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings) allows the story of World War I to be told by the men who were there. Life on the front is explored through the voices of the soldiers, who discuss their feelings about the conflict, the food they ate, the friends they made and their dreams of the future.

Technology has allowed Jackson to erase the barriers of time and speak to a new generation about what war does to youth. Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
