Excellent retelling of the pivotal event of my childhood of which I have only a vague recollection.

Rating: 9/10 (13 January 2001)

I was enthralled by the retelling of this historical period in the life of our country...and in my life...even though I (we all) know the outcome. I have a vague recollection of the Cuban missle crisis as a 13-year-old boy in 1962. There were several parts of this event I discovered for the first time. Little did I know as a youngster how close we came to the brink of nuclear oblivion. I thought the storytellers did an excellent job of recreating these events and keeping the viewers interest. However, as a frequent movie goer not used to such things, it was unsettling to see such a professional group of movie makers allow the audience to glimpse the sound mike in not one but two separate scenes! Where was the cameraman when these scenes were shot or the editor when these scenes were put together? Unfortunate...but I still enjoyed the show and recommend it highly.
