About this product

Product Information

This historical documentary about the French and Indian War has won numerous awards for the brilliant way it interweaves information from learned scholars and rich, gripping battle reenactments and other key scenes in this pivotal period in US military history. Syndicated by American Public Television to PBS affiliates, this rich, textured documentary may give reigning documentary king Ken Burns a run for his money. It has become common for historical documentaries to present reenactments that seem thin and hastily conceived, but here producers Paladin Communications go to great lengths to present scenes of the French Indian allies engaged in a bloody massacre with the British with the highly-charged intensity of an actual war photographer. Authenticity seems to be top priority here, as Paladin insisted on shooting on actual battle fields in the Ohio forest, using period music from Broadside Electric and the Colonial Williamsburg Fifes & Drums, and also using the work of Robert Griffing to visually capture Native Americans of this period. The only thing that is not of the period is the three dimensional computer animation, which gives the production a surprise shot of slick technology that helps clarify, from a geographic standpoint, how events unfolded.
