ABOUT THE FILM

The Civil War, an epic nine-episode series by the award-winning documentary
filmmaker Ken Burns and produced in conjunction with WETA, Washington, D.C.,
first aired in September of 1990 to an audience of 40 million viewers. The film
is a comprehensive and definitive history of the American Civil War, and the
recipient of 40 major film and television awards, including two Emmys and two
Grammys.

Heralded as an unforgettable introduction to a four-year conflict fought in
10,000 places, The Civil War was five years in the making. The film vividly
embraces the entire sweep of the war: the complex causes and lasting effects of
America's greatest and most moving calamity, the battles and the homefront, the
generals and the private soldiers, the anguish of death in battle and the grief
of families at home.


Premiered on PBS: September 23, 1990.

Aired Completely Restored on PBS: September 2015.
