WWI documentary back by demand

To celebrate the one-year anniversary of the theatrical release of Peter Jackson’s WWI documentary, They Shall Not Grow Old, is returning to select cinemas. Jackson is an Academy Award-winner, and this documentary of WWI (over 100 years ago) brings to life the soldiers and events of the Great War in a way the world has never seen. Using state-of-the-art technology to restore, colorize and enhance original archival footage, Jackson brings to life the very people (in their own voices) who were there. The film explores the reality of war on the front line; attitudes toward the conflict; and how they ate, slept, and formed friendships. The dates of the theatrical presentation, at select cinemas, are Dec. 7, Dec. 17-18, including Meridian, Biloxi, and Tupelo, Miss.; New Orleans region; and Pensacola, Fla.
