Anzac. Lemnos. 1915 on SBS – Many Australians know of Gallipoli. Few know of Lemnos.
Lemnos is the Greek island in the Aegean Sea which served as the base for the Allied campaign against the Ottoman Empire. For the first time, with rare photo archives and compelling personal accounts, this unique documentary explores a little-known setting during Australia’s first war that was crucial in the shaping of our modern identity, with fascinating new themes.
As Royal Australian Navy historian, John Perryman says, “No Lemnos, no Gallipoli.”
Directed and produced by Pria Viswalingam.
