This season entitled "World War I" is a five-part documentary series that imagines today's media and communications channels were available 100 years ago to keep audiences back home up-to-date from the frontline. Re-enacted reports from the frontline are received via live satellite, Skype and Facebook and a New Zealand war correspondent reports live to a studio-based news presenter. Each episode takes the form on a one-hour news bulletin covering five significant dates in the war, with a particular focus on New Zealand’s involvement. Some of the key dates include the withdrawal from Gallipoli, the attack of Passchendaele and the Surafend Affair.
