I have seen many documentaries about war and this one is different. The script is somewhat poetic and it doesn't give one side's perspective. Instead it speaks with the perspectives of everyone involved, captured by one actor's voice. It doesn't analyze what happened but effectively gives the viewer a sense of what each government and its people were thinking at different points of the war, using real footage from the countries involved.
It is not as detailed as other documentaries but it is, after all, covering the entire war in about an hour and a half.
