America: The Story of Us (2010)
Excellent
I can't believe all the bad reviews. I think they were all written by history professors or buffs, which are most definitely not the target audience.
Someone said this was "for the sesame street generation". Well count me in! I enjoyed the CGI, the appearances by singers and other figures, the fast pace. I'm not going to split hairs because they mispronounced an Indian name.
This is a great history lesson for the 90% of us who would never watch a history lesson. It was a great, light, fun to watch story that reminded me of all the things I had forgotten in the decades since I took history in school.
If you don't like documentaries, but want to feel good about America, to be reminded how far we've come, how we struggled and how we still made it, what is in our blood that makes us unique, watch this show.
