Detailed Description
The War
6 DVDs
Every Ken Burns film is a major event, but his new look at World War II is likely to wield the biggest impact of all of his works, as the effects of the war still touch so many of us directly, as well as our parents and grandparents. His latest documentary, 'The War,' explores, in unprecendentedly intimate fashion, how the conflict changed our lives forever. It tells the stories of ordinary people in four quintessentially American towns—Sacramento, California; Waterbury, Connecticut; Mobile, Alabama, and the tiny farming town of Luverne, Minnesota—intertwining vivid eyewitness accounts of the harrowing realities of life on the front lines with reminiscences of Americans who never left their hometowns, and tried their best to carry on with life while family members were fighting overseas. 'The War' is a celebration of the Greatest Generation, and an exploration of what it means to be an American. Seven episodes, 14 hours.
