If you were like me, you may have seen this title and recalled this coming on PBS years ago. It was the most detailed and powerful footage of The Korean War that I had ever seen before, and thus - I never forgot about this! I'm sure that you also wondered why it is hard to fin specs on the disc to... I get really concerned when I cannot find basic details, but I bought this anyway since I had house money. BD's are supposed to be a minimum of 1080P, but this disc says that the content is 1080i. Looking at it, it looks like it was as it was during it's broadcast - 480i, then upscaled to 1080i. I guess this is why they did not want to list the specs on the case or on any site either. I suppose, this will never be released in true 1080P or relieve a true HD remaster, so i'll keep it. It is also 4:3 and NOT 16:9. That is why this is so inexpensive. So basically you are not getting the minimum requirements for a BD disc. The ONLY saving grace is, this was a POWERFUL documentary, one that got detailed and graphic. There is a reason this is called the 'forgotten war,' because it came after WWII, and because it ended in a tie! I would recommend it, but don't expect standard HD. They really should have made it 1080P and 16:9, and/or stated the specs online or on the package. Many people may not appreciate getting duped.

My uncle fought in the Korean War so I purchased this documentary in the hopes of learning more about the war. It was good!

I learned a lot about the Korean War. My dad served there and I didn't really know much about it until now. I'm glad I got it. Thank you dad for your service.
