I've finally reached "The Civil War" in my Netflix queue.
I love this documentary. I love the soft music and the shots panning the photographs. I love listening to the letters home -- eloquent, poignant and full of emotion. I love the rich voices of the narrators. I even love the slow pacing of the movie.
The photographs haunt me. (As an aside, it's Orwellian that the current administration seeks to control the phtographic images the public sees. This policy dishonors the dead and debases their sacrifice. You can learn more at Camera/Iraq or see photos at The Memory Hole.)
