Ken Burns and Lynn Novick’s ten-part, 18-hour documentary series, THE VIETNAM WAR, tells the epic story of one of the most consequential, divisive, and controversial events in American history as it has never before been told on film. Visceral and immersive, the series explores the human dimensions of the war through revelatory testimony of nearly 80 witnesses from all sides—Americans who fought in the war and others who opposed it, as well as combatants and civilians from North and South Vietnam.
Ten years in the making, the series includes rarely seen and digitally re-mastered archival footage from sources around the globe, photographs taken by some of the most celebrated photojournalists of the 20th Century, historic television broadcasts, evocative home movies, and secret audio recordings from inside the Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon administrations. THE VIETNAM WAR features more than 100 iconic musical recordings from greatest artists of the era and haunting original music from Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross as well as the Silk Road Ensemble featuring Yo-Yo Ma.

My next door neighbor is a pretty strange Vietnam vet with super bad hearing and yesterday he was chopping up a bunch of vegetables on a piece of cardboard on my porch and putting them in to this big bottle that was already pretty full of stuff. I was like hey man what are you up to and he said he was making hot sauce, as if it should have been totally obvious. He said he has to bury it in the ground in his backyard for a week before it's ready so I was like cool let me get a sample when youre done.

Yeah this was a very odd misfire for him. Trying to distill the war through four towns in the us seems like it would have worked but it was boring and lacked emotion. I guess it was just too big. National parks was kinda lame too. Dust bowl was fucking incredible though and the roosevelts was really good too.
"Doc" Graham, as he became known after his career as a ballplayer, served the people of Chisholm for fifty years. From 1919 to 1959, Graham was the doctor for the Chisholm schools. The Graham Scholarship Fund, established in his honor, provides financial assistance to two Chisholm High School graduating seniors each year. The award is given to one boy and one girl, $500 to each. For many years, "Doc" Graham made arrangements to have used eyeglasses sent to his Chisholm office. On Saturdays, he would have the children of the Iron Range miners, from Grand Rapids to Virginia, come to his office, have their eyes checked and then fit them with the proper set of glasses, all free of charge.
