    They talked about there being a WWI museum in KC during the game.

    I am looking forward to seeing this as soon as I can. Peter Jackson, the guy who made LOTR, was given access to the film archives of the British Imperial War Museum, and looks to have done amazing work using colorization, sound effects,forensic lip-readers, and computer generated frames to eliminate the choppy jerky motion we are used to in silent era film. The result looks amazing; these men look real in ways we've never fully appreciated before.

    It brings out the human element, not the political - and it is beautiful and moving, especially at the end (no spoilers, but it is poignant)

    I think you will really enjoy it Dread

    I have been watching this. It is excellent, thanks for the recommendation.

    There is a really good Bio-drama about WWI that BBC that runs about 45 minutes you should recommend to your students. It's on Netflix. The best one is about the first Tank battle.
    "We saw it…. the hussars let loose their horses. God, what power! They ran through the smoke and the sound was like that of a thousand blacksmiths beating with a thousand hammers

    They rush on to the Swedes! They crash into the Swedish riters…. Overwhelm them! They crash into the second regiment - Overwhelmed! Resistance collapses, dissolves, they move forward as easily as if they were parading on a grand boulevard

    And without him we probably don’t win the war, or Roosevelt gives all of Europe to Russia.

    “When we do find that guy, we’ve got to have the continuity on the offensive side to where we can train him and develop him and get him there. This is our fourth offense in probably three or four years. Quarterbacks need to be developed. You don’t find one ready-made. We got to have a solid system in place for when we do go after whatever guy it may be, a young guy or a trade or whatnot.”
