Gallipoli

Directed by Tolga Örnek.
Turkey, 2004, color, 90 min.

Gallipoli is unique in world history: it is not just a battle; it is also an epic tale of courage, self-sacrifice and stubborn endurance. It is a story of enemies who displayed mutual respect during the battle and who became allies after it.  No battle has forged such strong comradeship and lasting peace in its aftermath. On the shores of Gallipoli, Australia and New Zealand became nations and Turkey embarked on its journey to become a republic from the ruins of an empire. Narrated by Jeremy Irons, the documentary revolves around six soldiers tracing their lives before, during, and after the war.
