They Shall Not Grow Old

This documentary spliced together from footage shot in the trenches looks to cast an intimate gaze on the daily lives of soldiers in World War II. The originally black and white footage has been restored into color to create a more meaningful look into the lives of these young men who risked life and limb for the sake of their country. Rather than focus on the vicious and dramatic nature of the war itself, this movie instead delves into the mundane aspects of life in the trenches and speaks directly to the soldiers themselves to offer a window into their vulnerable experiences.
