This year marks the 150th anniversary of when the Civil War began. To commemorate the historical event, PBS has recently released a new anniversary edition of Ken Burns’ epic documentary The Civil War on DVD.
We’ve teamed up with PBS and Paramount Home Entertainment to offer three winners in this contest one of The Civil War: 150th Anniversary 6-disc, nearly 700 hours worth of material sets. For a chance to win one, please fill out and submit the entry form below. You can optionally increase the odds of winning each day you enter again for as many days as the contest is open.
“The new six-disc set includes a bonus disc with never-before-seen interviews with Shelby Foote, and a new interview with Ken Burns himself, plus a companion collector’s booklet. With digitally enhanced images, here is the saga of celebrated generals and ordinary soldiers, a heroic and transcendent president and a country that had to divide itself in two in order to become one.
Ken Burns’ nine-part series took nearly six years to complete — longer than the Civil War itself — and has been hailed as a masterpiece of historical storytelling. Through the careful use of archival photographs, live modern cinematography, music, narration, and a chorus of first-person voices, Burns does more than merely recount historical facts: THE CIVIL WAR unearths the very heart of the American experience; listening to the ghosts and echoes of an almost inexpressibly wise past.”
