Dawn of the Legend-Presented 251117

Anzac Day in Australia is a national holiday which commemorates the landing on the Gallipoli peninsula in Turkey on April 25, 1915. Anzac means different things to different people, but to most it signifies a birth of nationhood, in which the diverse character of the nation was exemplified by courage and compassion. Much to the credit of the producers, a Turkey perspective is also included, giving weight to an extraordinary event which serves as a source of pride to both nations.
