Ces films, tournés sur le vif, sont des éléments bruts, non montés, de formidables documents tournés en couleur par les cameramen de l'armée américaine. Ces images nous racontent cette guerre de l'intérieur, et nous rendent intelligible et visible ce conflit, à travers des hommes et des femmes des deux camps, militaires et civils, qui y ont été impliqués.

Canadian and United States Navy forces converge for live fire exercise in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of British Columbia, Canada. The goal: sink the HMCS Huron, a Tribal-class destroyer. Parallax Film Productions profiles the ship’s ultimate engineering, this high-octane operation, and the fierce competition to deliver the ship’s fatal blow.
CF-18 Hornets. The HMCS Algonquin. HMC Ships Saskatoon, Ottawa and Regina. United States Ships Shoup, Ingraham and Curts. This documentary follows these vessels and their crews in an unprecedented operation to defy naval military engineering. In the past retired warships were generally sold for scrap or sunk as artificial reefs. This time the Navy decides to use the Huron for ultra-sensitive target practice in this large-scale exercise. The goal: provide invaluable operational training for sailors and pilots – the most realistic training possible in peacetime – in the West Coast Firing Area, about 100 km off the coast of Vancouver Island, in 2,000 metres of water.
Vietnam: The Ten Thousand Day War, a 26-part Canadian television documentary on the Vietnam War, was produced in 1980 by Michael Maclear.
The documentary series was consolidated into 13 hour-long episodes for American television syndication. The series was released on videocassette format by Embassy and won a National Education Association award for best world documentary.
The military, political, and social repercussions of the Vietnam War continue to be felt, in the ways in which it altered the landscape of American life forever. Written by CNN correspondent Peter Arnett, the 13 episodes of Vietnam: The Ten Thousand Day War trace the entire course of the conflict, from the closing days of World War II when Ho Chi Minh first began to assemble his revolutionary army, to the fall of Saigon in 1975.

Apocalypse tells us about this huge conflict through the tragic destiny of those who went to war (soldiers) those who suffered from it (civilians), and those who ran it (political and military leaders). The "horrible yet familiar" war led to the deaths of 50 million men and women across the world - making for the first time as many civilian victims as there were military casualties.
One of the most powerful land weapons systems in the world, the Abrams tank is the US Army's principal combat tank in Iraq and is set to enter the Australian defence force ranks in 2007. Rather than built new, the Abrams are decades-old tanks that are completely overhauled from the ground up. Now the doors are opened on the two factories in Alabama and Ohio, responsible for the Herculean effort of revamping the 70-ton Abrams. In these two facilities, time-honoured tanks are completely disassembled, cleaned, refurbished and upgraded before the reborn Abrams is sent in zero-mile condition to flex its new muscles on the proving grounds of Fort Bliss, Texas.

The Abrams tank is one of the most powerful land weapons systems in the world. Mega factories brings you on a inside look into these factories.
Find out why one of the most powerful tools of the Second World War was never used.
One of the best-kept secrets of the Second World War was a huge aircraft-carrying submarine designed to deliver Japanese bombers to within a few hundred kilometres of American cities.
Engineers and historians conduct experiments and demonstrations to reveal the secrets behind a technological marvel that could have changed the course of the war.
Plus, archive footage shows what made the I-400 subs so deadly: the three state-of-the-art attack bombers it could carry anywhere in the world. But why was the technology never used in an attack on the US?
