While I love the Ken Burns documentaries and have gotten
so much from them, they are far more mainstream and edited
to be more palatable to over-sensitive American feelings.
Ric Burns' documentary "The Way West" is brilliant and almost
terrifying in its revelation of how sheltered we are from real
history.
This is one of the best documentaries I've ever watch, and I
even bought it - and it was hard to find too.
Notice there are no reviews of this - besides mine today. That
is an outrage. I've never seen it broadcast except once, and that
was probably due to its being confused with his bother's documentary.
Americans need to open their eyes, and have the guts to seek out,
learn, accept and integrate our history - the good and the bad.
