America: the Story of Us

Recently, while perusing on Netflix, I came across a documentary series called, 'America: the Story of Us'. The documentary was made by the History Channel. It features interviews from many famous Americans, such as Meryl Streep, Brian Williams, Al Sharpton, Donald Trump, Colin Powell, Rudy Giuliani and others. The series is narrated by Liev Schreiber.

The series features 12 episodes, beginning at the start of America and ending at the Millennium. This documentary is so far my favorite historical documentary/series. I love that this documentary features really awesome reenactments for all aspects of our history. It also features lots of special effects to make the scenes  seem as real as possible. I highly recommend this documentary to anyone who loves American history. It is very enjoyable to watch, and I learned a lot of new facts while watching it.

The episodes are also available to watch online on the History Channel website:
