Talk:The War (miniseries)

message: Shouldn't someone put something in here about the whole-lack of Hispanics thing? It's on the Ken Burns page itself --Jordanus maximus 20:07, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

message: The "Publicity" section looks as if it was built in drips-and-drabs in the years and months leading to the completion and release of the film.  It consists almost entirely of accounts of Burns presenting pieces of the uncompleted film at various high school and college locations.  Now that the film has been released, the section feels like an unnecessary distraction.  I am removing it now, but will paste it into this space for archival/discussion purposes.
Here it is:
:--Publicity--
:On March 27, 2007, Burns spoke at Brigham Young University and presented parts of the film as well as a song by Norah Jones entitled "American Anthem," which is included on the film's soundtrack. On March 29, Burns spoke at the United States Military Academy and also presented parts of The War along with the song, "American Anthem." On April 12, 2007, Burns presented a one-hour short composite of the film to an audience in Durham, North Carolina, arranged by WUNC, the Chapel Hill PBS affiliate.
:Burns appeared at Northrop Auditorium at the University of Minnesota on September 5, 2007 to promote the documentary and elaborate on his motivations in making the film and the effect that the production had on him and other collaborators and workers.  There were many World War II veterans in the audience, which at one point Burns requested they stand to receive an ovation from the rest of the crowd.
:On September 6, 2007 Burns attended a mini "premier" at the Palace Theatre in Luverne, Minnesota.  In addition to the premier he also attended a reception for Pioneer Public Television and spoke to students at Luverne High School about the film and about the war. http://www.startribune.com/462/story/1407034.html

message: West Africa Campaigns is too limited, and generally omit the important fighting in Tunisia.  Unless/until those articles are merged (I am aware of the suggestion to merge on those articles' pages) we should stick with "African campaigns."  --AStanhope 20:07, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

message: can we put anything about critical review and reception? let's start thinking of ways to do that. --Steve, Sm8900 14:18, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

message: The segment about Crow tribe member Joe Medicine Crow, was this added before or after the initial airing of the special? Because PBS is re-airing it right now, its the "FUBAR" segment. He's being interviewed... was this shot as part of the original material or was it post-controversy? Amazing story. He was born in 1913 so he'd have been about 94 when his segment was filmed. --RThompson82 (talk) 07:03, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
