For thirty years, Ken Burns has portrayed the essential human emotions and American experience of historical events. With THE WAR he has crowned his three decades of achievement with a jewel of unsurpassed detail and intimate drama.
By focusing on stories from four quintessential American towns - Luverne, Minnesota; Sacramento, California; Waterbury, Connecticut; and Mobile, Alabama - Burns and co-director Lynn Novick personalize the markings and arrows on battlefield maps. Over forty citizens - veterans, factory workers, internment camp detainees, everyday people - recount their experiences of WWII, and contribute to a stunning "emotional archaeology," as Burns puts it, of the global cataclysm.
