Washington: The
Warrior
Premieres Memorial
Day, 2006 at 9 PM ET
On the History
Channel
This two hour program seems to be the way of future documentary
programming. It is more docudrama than documentary. The program is well
budgeted and offers many realistic re-enactments in combination with CGI
to make the viewing a more authentic experience. The program is well
researched and offers students and history buffs alike a more piercing
view into the military life of the founding father of the United States,
Through a series of military life experiences Washington emerges as
colonial Americas best chance for independence from Britain. From information
provided in the programming it appears that General Washington evolved
into a situation whereby he became the primary reason for our success against George III's hold on
colonial America.
This is must see viewing for all Americans that want to really know
just how close we were to still being British subjects. It is my hope
that the History Channel continues to create these investigative
docudramas as they are definitely good history for the masses and the
good review for the historically oriented.
We give this program an enthusiastic 4 of 5 Herodoti
