ANZAC Girls (Series)

Series trailer

This richly-detailed Australian series recounts the largely untold stories of five brave Australian and New Zealand army nurses who travelled halfway across the world to serve in World War 1. Full of romantic notions, they face the carnage of Gallipoli and the Western front, horrific living conditions, prejudice, and devastating personal loss. Rising to meet the challenge, they find love and lasting friendship. Based on Peter Rees' book "The Other ANZACS," drawing on the real nurses' letters, journals, and historical records, this acclaimed miniseries tells the harrowing, life-affirming stories of these unsung heroines. Starring Antonia Prebble, Georgia Flood, Caroline Craig, Anna McGahan and Laura Brent. (6 EPS, 2014)
