I'm just rewatching Ken Burns' Civil War documentary. If you can catch it, do so; it's brilliant.

I remember watching this years ago by chance on TV, I think over the Christmas break. An absolutely brilliant series with so many atmospheric images, music and voice overs. Outstanding

You can view it on the television or listen to it on podcast etc, it's still the same brilliant documentary.

A measure of the quality

Watched it twice. Fascinating and often quite moving.

It’s pretty special. Ken Burns Vietnam War too. The veteran testimonies are extremely moving.

Yes I remember that well. A remarkable woman.

Excellent series, the history often gets close to Lost Cause romanticism of the Confederacy - especially Foote
