Documentary Review: "The War of 1812" by History Channel


If you are looking to understand the War of 1812 and want to know the intricate details - this is an excellent documentary to watch. I recommend it for all teachers/professors out there who want to give a visual perspective to their students!! The actors playing important rolees are believable and it excited me to want to visit Fort McHenry in Maryland to see where Francis Scott Key wrote the poem "The Star Spangled Banner".

I have sang that song countless times but after watching this movie I will be compelled visually to replay certain scenes of this documentary while I'm singing only to add more heartfelt emotion to the moment!

The History Channel did a professional and thorough production and I hope all of you interested in our American History will buy this documentary (DVD) or at least rent it!


A great movie for parents who have school aged children!!!
