It was very interesting to read various articles regarding Ken Burns' "The War" film on PBS. I didn't really know much about Burns or the fact that he openly admitted he wanted a specific point of view about his film to be portrayed. I think it was disappointing that Burns made a conscious effort to no to include the 'Latino' perspective when initially questioned. Has Gus Chavez not spoken out on behalf of the Latino soldiers who dedicated their service and some even their lives for the war. I really think that Burns' initial cut of his film was very stereotypical in that he only showed a limited perspective to his audiences. Burns' basically showed audiences a viewpoint that was not only limited, but not complete. I hope this controversial debate will encourage future film-makers and all people who work in the media to strive for an unbiased perspective that represents true accuracy of events.
