Great War Stories 5 screening

The Team from Alexander Turnbull Library

Great War Stories (Series 5)
The fifth and final series of AC Productions’ Great War Stories begins with the invasion of Samoa and ends with New Zealand’s last action in the First World War with the liberation of the French town of Le Quesnoy.

Also featured is the music of Gareth Farr who composed a cello concerto in memory of relatives killed in World War I.

The letters, diaries and photographs preserved in the Alexander Turnbull Library have provided a wonderful resource for telling personal stories, says Anna Cottrell, Producer and Director of the seven-part series.
