A 4-part ABC documentary will examine how the First World War changed the country, its soldiers and their families, nurses and people who opposed the war.
The producer of The War That Changed Us, Electric Pictures. Andrew Ogilvie, originally envisioned the program as an international co-production between the ABC, the BBC and PBS stations in the Us.
But Ogilvie says the ABC wanted a film which reflected a uniquely Australian perspective without having to comply with the demands of international broadcasters.
It.s now in production under the auspices of the ABC/Screen Australia National Documentary Program, supported by Screen West and the Department of Veterans. Affairs.
Director Don Featherstone (Kokoda, Singapore 1942 End of Empire) has filmed interviews with 10 Australian historians and .atmospheric. footage of battlefields in Europe including the Western Front, and Gallipoli.

Stunt men and women are the go-to team for risk-taking. But is this school of hard knocks doing it tough in the industry. Georgina Pearson reports.
As humans, we have a natural fascination with danger. Since Buster Keaton emerged unscathed from a house collapsing around him (Steamboat Bill Jr) we have been unable to tear ourselves from a thrilling action sequence, or a daring gunfight.
However, with each actor comes a stunt double and despite their relatively low-profile these gutsy professionals put their bodies on the line for their craft – and in turn are vital to the success of the films they represent. But as we move into an age of increased CGI and VFX, the fundamentals of post-production are rapidly shifting. Not only do we now have the ability to digitally change the way an entire scene is shaped – but we can actually create the physical characters within that scene.
