BECAUSE WAR IS NEVER AS SIMPLE AS BLACK AND WHITE

Factory Sealed

PAL REGION 2

 

An award-winning documentary filled with never-before-seen images, WWII IN COLOUR is a spectacle of colour, sights, sounds and memories. At its core, World War II was a black-and-white struggle between good and evil. But the everyday scenes of carnage, human resistance and savage warfare were much more complex. An assemblage of colour footage and photographs from national archives and private collections, WWII IN COLOUR delivers striking perspectives on the soldiers day-to-day experiences.

 

From the first draftees thrown into the breach, to the sheer boredom between battles, to the uniforms worn and the objects carried, this unparalleled collection of voices is further illuminated by letters and diaries, communiqués from the battlefield and the sounds and songs of the era. Narrated by Peter Coyote (Erin Brockovich, E.T.) the 7 programmes included in WWII IN COLOUR offer an intimate view of World War II.

 Face To Face
