Ah so I see you understand the PBS reference.
I watched more of it to give it a fair review, there is beacoup fluff. It is just a little too rainbow for me(very similar to Clint Eastwood focusing on the Native American discrimination and drinking rather than the heroic exploits of the Marines) It is pretty, meaning good music score, production values, editing, sound, file footage, good interviews but the writing and direction or overall message falls short of what it should be. Quite revisionist. I realize he is telling the story from his 4 towns perspective but that leaves much to be desired. Definately watch it but don't waste your cash to add it to your collection.
