Omschrijving

A television drama marking the 2015 centenary of Gallipoli is bringing the reality of war close to home. 
Three boats from Waiuku Museum were used in the filming of six-part mini series When We Go to War, due to air next year. 
Large rowing boats were also borrowed from Papakura and Waiuku Sea Scout groups to help re-enact the Gallipoli landings. 
The TV One series will show troops on the front line and life back home in New Zealand during the early 20th century. 
The episodes are based on letters - cue voice-overs - from one character to another with the device leaving space for flashbacks to life before the war, which is all connected to the shopkeeping Smith family of Auckland.
In the case of part one, that was feisty proto-feminist nurse Bea Smith (Esther Stephens) who we meet dealing with a flood of Kiwi Gallipoli casualties at a military hospital in Alexandria (where she was heard shouting about "gurneys", a relatively modern American word, to the stretcher bearers).
Among the mayhem, she finds that in the same hospital is Aussie Dr William Chambers (Tom O'Sullivan) who, we learn in those flashbacks was her lecturer in gross anatomy back when she was at Otago Medical School trying to become a doctor.

Neem de spot zoals die is: klein formaat, geen subs.
Ander formaat: zoek even zelf.
