Acclaimed actor Robert Powell (Jesus of Nazareth) narrates this panoramic documentary overview of the American Civil War. The program spans numerous major events of the bloody and visceral four-year conflict, from one of the earliest battles at Fort Sumter, through the surrender of the Confederacy at Appomattox Courthouse. To tell its story, it draws from such resources as dramatic battle reconstructions and acted-out "eyewitness accounts" featuring performers, archival photos and analysis by historians. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
