The Ken Burns documentary, The Dust Bowl, was great.

We are doing the HBO mini-series John Adams for my Revolutionary War-loving kid.

Will probably also do Saving Private Ryan - we started it a few months ago but didn't finish it.

Any other suggestions or ideas?

Kids are 8, 11 and 16 by the way.


WHAT?!? For an 8 and 11 year old? Saving Private Ryan is rated R for a reason.
