THEY SHALL NOT GROW OLD (2019) Rent on Amazon, Google Play, iTunes, Vudu and YouTube. For this World War I documentary, the director Peter Jackson was given a challenge: make a movie for the centennial of the Armistice using original footage, in an original way. Jackson, in keeping with his reputation for visual splendor, went a painstaking route. He and his team worked to restore the footage and colorize it. “This footage has been around for 100 years and these men had been buried behind a fog of damage, a mask of grain and jerkiness and sped-up film,” Jackson said in an interview with The Times last year.
