Ken Burns is a talented documentarian--maybe the best in the biz. So how did he screw up this episode so bad?

We've been going through Ken Burns' Civil War series recently, and we sat down to watch its seventh episode, which covers... well, it's hard to say exactly what it covers.

We're Logan Ledman and Sam Temple, and after learning to love the Ken Burns style, we are confused about why, sometimes, it just doesn't work. Let us know what you think.

This episode attempts a discussion on the Battle of Atlanta, POW camps, the Fort Pillow Massacre, and Nathan Bedford Forrest.

Watch along with us as we go through the series. All episodes are available for free here: www.archive.org/details/ken.-burns.-the.-civil.-war.
