In 1995 I had just returned home from service in the United States Marines -four tough years in a regular infantry line unit. Except for NFL football games in the barracks with the constant roar of at least twenty guys at any given time, I hadn't seen TV in quite some time. The first thing that stopped me as I flipped through the channels upon my return to the peace and tranquility of civilian life was "Over America", then showing on PBS. I can't describe the power of that incredible coincidence. Thanks to everyone who worked on this superbly done and elegantly simple tribute to the United States. I should also mention with a smile that the stunning aerial perspective and something about that narration (another smile) helped suggest to me a return to service to fly jets.

It's a beautiful video over America,with wonderful sights! With this video I have a chance to visit that wonderful country that I love very much. But I noticed,for example,that when we see the Capitol or others monuments,we don't see the Vietnam Memorial! And where are the wonderful beaches of the Pacific Coast?(Malibu,Santa Monica...) We see almost nothing about Nevada,but I even liked this marvellous video of my dear America!!!

I have seen this movie many times, and I have shown it to friends and visitors on numerous occasions. There is no movie about America out there, that is actually better than this one. A PAL version does exist as well for viewing in Europe. Buy this movie, you 'll be watching it many times, too. It's just so beautiful, like the real America, I might add. It makes a great gift, too.
