This acclaimed five-part documentary by Ken Burns is considered to be the benchmark for all pieces done on the Civil War.

Its use of archival photographs, music, and narration ushered in a new style for documentaries, and established Ken Burns as the most accomplished documentary filmmaker of his generation.
