Driven by human stories, rather than the detail of military history, the series offers an opportunity to get close to the actual experience of war, and to learn how it changed the lives of those involved. As a result the political becomes personal and the epic everyday. We watch the series protagonists struggle with the opposing influences of imperialism and independence, militarism and pacifism, Old World enmities and New World utopian ideals.
The War That Changed Us uses dramatic reconstruction, location filming, expert analysis and colourised black and white archive to tell a gripping tale spanning three continents over four brutal years. The events of 1914-18 not only change the course of human history, but would also test the mettle of one of the world’s newest nations – Australia.
Awards & Festivals
- Winner Best Docudrama, Australian Teachers of Media (ATOM) Awards 2015
- Winner Gold Award Dramatised Documentaries, Episode 1, Australian Cinematographers Society Awards WA 2014
