Ken Burns: The Civil War 25th (Anniversary Edition)

Hailed as a film masterpiece and landmark in historical storytelling, Ken Burn's epic documentary brings to life America's most destructive - and defining - conflict. With digitally enhanced images and 5.1 surround sound, here is the sage of celebrated generals and ordinary soldiers, a heroic and transcendent president and a country that had to divide itself in two in order to become one. Review "The technical improvements to the film, including a new resolution that restores parts of images that were cropped away for the original TV broadcast, may be most interesting to hard-core film fans. But even casual viewers will be able to see that the remastered version of "The Civil War" is a strikingly different film from the movie that preceded it." --Washington Post" …(The Civil War) is most likely the most significant historical documentary PBS has ever done". --The New York Times
