This raw and sometimes grainy account leaves me with a profound sense of sadness. The last episode is appropriately entitled "The Weight of Memory," which we will carry for all our days. I didn't need the series to remind me and wish in some ways that the documentary waited a decade or more, when I would have joined my comrades we left on the battlefield. Imagery is all powerful in the way we are affected; hence the reason some turn to film for their history lessons. For many of us, however, I suspect it's all pain and little or no gain.
