Facing Down Under: A Backpackers Documentary
A 19-year-old high school graduate travels through Australia as a backpacker and accompanies his adventure with a camera.
Gallipoli from Above demolishes the myths about poor planning, wrong beaches and British generals sending the Anzacs to certain death.
Gallipoli from Above: The Untold Story is the true story of how a team of Australian officers used aerial intelligence, emerging technology and innovative tactics to plan the landing at Anzac Cove. 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 of how these two influential Australian officers took control of the landing using every innovation they could muster to safely land their men on Z beach.
