Gallipoli: history in the depths

An historical overview of the tragic circumstances during the Gallipoli campaign in 1915. The Straits of the Dardanelles, a strategic key to the battle for Constantinople proved to be a watery graveyard for many Allied naval ships and cost the lives of over 500,000 soldiers from both the Allies and the Turks. A thread running through the documentary is the battleships lost at sea. Underwater photography of the remains of many of these ships is included. Also includes stills, newsreel and archival film footage, and a detailed retelling through the words of historians, experts and the actual soldiers who fought in the Gallipoli campaign. Suitable for middle secondary level. (English version narrated by David Ritchie and produced by SBS Australia in 2001).
