Coinciding with the 80th anniversary of D-Day in 2024, the team behind the BAFTA-nominated series AIDS: The Unheard Tapes relives one of the most extraordinary days in the history of modern warfare through the incredible preserved audio testimony of those who experienced the D-Day invasion first-hand. The tapes are of recorded interviews with British, American and German soldiers, plus French witnesses, and many have never been heard publicly before.
They are now brought back to life by a cast of young actors lip-syncing the real voices in documentary settings, combined with archival footage and immersive re-creation of the memories they recount. The result is raw, revealing and uniquely personal, with these powerful oral histories recalling incredible moments of bravery, fear, strategy, chaos and split-second decision-making, telling the story of what it was like to live through the unfolding invasion.
