• Not Forgotten (Screening on SBS on Tuesday 11th November at 8.30pm).
  To mark Remembrance Day, SBS will screen this poignant documentary presented by Mark Lee (best known to audiences as the young lead in the 1981 feature film “Gallipoli”). Mark takes the memorials of WW1 as his starting point, and researches individual stories to turn names and statistics into people with faces and personal histories. Tracking down their descendants, he unveils a series of moving portraits, exploring the scale of the loss, the experience of grief, and the motivations which took so many Australians to war on the other side of the world. As WW1 fades into ancient history, this documentary turns the names frozen in time back into remembered lives, however briefly, helping us unlock the experience and the legacy of the Great War on a personal, family, community and national level, and ensuring these names are not forgotten.
