I watched it too. I very much enjoyed it. Being a native New Englander I was struck by the fact that NONE of the very interesting information regarding battles that happened "in my own back yard" were mentioned when I was in school some 20 years ago.
Now that my own children are entering school I will make sure they know about the rich history of the place where we live.
I also thought that the story related in the documentary would make a stellar feature movie! I can't think of any film that has covered the topic.
It seems to me that the events fit rather nicely into the two hour timeframe and the content is certainly gripping enough.
Mel Gibson did well financially with "The Patriot" and I think this story is much more compelling and true to boot.
