Deadline Gallipoli Part 1 HDTV x264-Hector mp4

Deadline Gallipoli explores the origin of the Gallipoli legend from the point of view of war correspondents Charles Bean, Ellis Ashmead-Bartlett, Phillip Schuler and Keith Murdoch, who lived through the campaign and bore witness to the extraordinary events that unfolded on the shores of Gallipoli in 1915.

These were the first truly embedded war correspondents whose defiance ignited a change in the campaign’s course and whose commitment to the stories of the men turned the war from a strategic failure into a triumph of the human spirit.

The series is an epic tale told through personal journey. We explore how the journalists come to realise how much the war strategy has been mismanaged by those in command and how little information is being communicated back to the British and Australian governments about the true state of the campaign.

As the atrocities, defeat and horror mount, the journalists are subjected to tough and often bizarre levels of censorship. Unable to report the truth they nevertheless must witness it.

Cast: Sam Worthington, Hugh Dancy, Joel Jackson, Rachel Griffiths & Bryan Brown
