Changed Forever

 

Citation: Changed Forever, Australia : Umbrella Entertainment, c2016. (1 DVD)

Summary: This dramatised miniseries covers the numerous ways in which the First World War altered Australia culturally and politically. Colin Friels serves as the narrator of the work, helping to provide further historical information to the viewer. The First World War or The Great War was a conflict that would have tremendous repercussions for decades to come. No nation that was embroiled in it remained the same in the aftermath. Australia was no exception. People from various occupations and social strata were affected by it and this is the territory that Changed Forever strives to cover. People as disparate as labourers, businessmen, the celebrities of the day, the press and members of the Australian Federal government are represented here.  The costs and changes are portrayed over the course of two parts. It is an example of visual media that is "...cinematically realised on an almost operatic scale," - Graeme Blundell, The Weekend Australian.

Time Period(s): World War I
