This is one of the definitive works of history put together by the Emmy Award winning team responsible for THE MEN WHO BUILT AMERICA. Narrated beautifully by Jeremy Renner, who in 2009 was in the stunning film THE HURT LOCKER.

The Bluray includes: A character in depth of Hitler, Eisenhower, FDR, Truman, Stalin and Churchill; World War 1: One Word featurette, “Tech Developments of WWI” featurette, “Life in a Trench”, “The US in WWI”, “Did WWI Lead to WWII”, “Legacy of WWI”, “Global Connections of WWI”, “Nationalism and WWI”, “Harlem Hellfighters” and Deleted Scenes.

Lionsgate Home Entertainment brings a strong and diversified company that brings motion picture production with television, syndication, home and family entertainment along with digital distribution and channel platforms. Bringing such iconic shows as MAD MEN and NURSE JACKIE along with ANGER MANAGEMENT and ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK, they currently have over 30 television shows on 20 networks.

TUBS OF POPCORN: I give THE WORLD WARS four tubs of popcorn out of five. THE WORLD WARS is an amazing collection of footage, photos and reenactments that I couldn’t help but watch from beginning to end.

Knowing our history is so very important and seems to be somewhat lacking. This Bluray set has such potential that I dare say it should be in classrooms everywhere. Each episode is unique in its presentation and, as someone who enjoys history, the cinematography is stunning and the reenactments well done. Another stunning part of THE WORLD WARS is that it doesn’t sugar coat the events but instead gives an unbiased view of what is factual.

In the end – the world changed them and they changed the world!
