ANZAC Day 2015: ANZAC: Tides of Blood
(2015)
In this Kiwi-Aussie co-production Sam Neill confronts what ‘Anzac’ means, a century after NZ and Australian troops landed at Gallipoli as part of an invasion by British-led forces to capture the Turkish territory. Through the lens of his whānau’s war stories (including a visit to his grandfather's grave) Neill uncovers forgotten truths about the catastrophic campaign, and examines ways the Anzac myth has been manipulated. "I hate militarism, loathe nationalism but honour those who served.” The full doco screened to acclaim on Māori Television on Anzac Day 2015. [From NZ On Screen]
