On Nine Network
A concentrated eight-month immersion in the brutal education of young soldiers at Gallipoli, balancing intimate character bonds against the grinding attrition of a doomed campaign.
As dawn breaks on April 25, 1915, ANZAC troops go into battle on the beaches of the Gallipoli peninsula. Landing in the dark chaos, Tolly, Bevan and their mates struggle to establish a tenuous foothold on the treacherous slopes and deep ravines. They endure the next eight months on the peninsula learning lessons of survival.
