Gallipoli from Above

January 1, 1970 @ 10:00 am

It is now nearly 100 years since the landing and hundreds of books, movies and documentaries have failed to grasp the significance of the ANZAC achievement. Instead, the mythology has clouded the real story. Gallipoli From Above: The Untold Story will change the way Australians think about Gallipoli forever.
This one-hour documentary overturns many of the myths about the Gallipoli landing; that the Australians landed at dawn, on the wrong beach, with little knowledge of the Turkish defences and they were led by incompetent British officers. In fact nothing could be further from the truth.

Accomplished writer and director Wain Fimeri returns with another extraordinary program. Wain’s work roams from dramatic screenwriting to factual documentary, and quite often, a bit of both. His consuming interest in people, history and stories, allows him to find the perfect balance of information and entertainment. He’s a writer and director of pioneering dramatized documentary, work that has resulted in prestigious acclaim from all over the world.

Light refreshments served between 5.30pm and 6pm. Talk begins promptly at 6pm.

Presented by: Wain Fimeri, writer and director
Admission: Free, gold coin donation welcome
