If you are in France, you probably can't watch it, but I've been absolutely glued to the Ken Burns documentary, The War, for the past 3 nights.  Which is shocking to me because I'm really very hostile to the idea of war or any propaganda related to it.  Not to mention I'm sick of war at this point.   But I guess he's just a brilliant filmmaker, because I've been completely sucked in.  It's told from the POV of Americans, but it doesn't glorify anything or avoid all of the things we did wrong during WWII either.

Thanks for the reference. It might turn up on the internet, eventually.

I hope the series is receiving a broad viewership in the US.
