They Shall Not Grow Old


They Shall Not Grow Old
Acclaimed director Peter Jackson takes a harrowing look at “The War to End All Wars” aka World War I, with never-before-seen footage to commemorate the centennial of the end of the war. The title is from the epithet spoken at the funerals of the deceased, taken from the poem “For the Fallen” by Robert Laurence Binyon, as follows:
“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.”
