Each year, thousands of Australians and New Zealanders of all ages make the pilgrimage to Gallipoli to commemorate Anzac Day.

For most, it is a profoundly emotional experience in a place where many believe our national identity was forged. The Gallipoli Peninsula is equally revered as a site of remembrance by our allies (Britain, France and India) and by the Turkish people who suffered a quarter of a million casualties in defending their homeland against this Allied invasion.

Why do Australians come so far to remember this? Why are their numbers only growing every year? Andrew Denton and his team at Enough Rope journey to Gallipoli to meet Australian pilgrims to Gallipoli and discover its haunting significance on our country and its people.
