The war

THE WAR, a new seven-part documentary series directed and produced by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, explores the history and horror of the Second World War from an American perspective by following the fortunes of so-called ordinary men and women who become caught up in one of the greatest cataclysms in human history.Six years in the making, this epic 14-hour film focuses on the stories of citizens from four geographically distributed American towns ? Waterbury, Connecticut; Mobile, Alabama; Sacramento, California; and the tiny farming town of Luverne, Minnesota. These four communities stand in for ? and could represent ? any town in the United States that went through the war's four devastating years. Individuals from each community take the viewer through their own personal and quite often harrowing journeys into war, painting vivid portraits of how the war dramatically altered their lives and those of their neighbors, as well as the country they helped to save for generations to come.

  • "The War examines the myriad ways in which the Second World War touched the lives of every family on every street in every town in America. By telling the stories of ordinary people in four quintessentially American towns - Waterbury, Connecticut; Mobile, Alabama; Sacramento, California; and the tiny farming town of Luverne, Minnesota - the series portrays the enormous worldwide catastrophe of WWII on an intimate, human scale. Together the filmmaking team succeeds in bringing the war vivdly to life through the testimonies, letters, and footage of the people from these towns. It intertwines vivid eyewitness accounts of the harrowing realities of life on the front lines with reminiscences of Americans who never left their home towns, and who tried their best to carry on with the business of daily life while their fathers and brothers and sons were overseas. The film will honor and celebrate the bravery, endurance, and sacrifice, of the generation of Americans who lived through what will always be known simply as The War."

  • "Ken Burns et Lynn Novick y font revivre avec beaucoup de respect, mais aussi une émotion unique, le parcours des soldats américains et de leurs familles. Lʹoriginalité de cette fresque, au-delà de la chronique des batailles et de la mobilisation industrielle sans précédent, est de suivre des hommes simples, des anonymes pris dans la tourmente. Les accompagner, des mois qui précèdent la guerre, jusquʹà la paix de 1945, en veillant toujours à alterner le fracas des armes et la vie quotidienne bouleversée de ceux qui restent dans les villes américaines, Mobile, Sacramento, Waterbury, Luverne."
