The Unknowns

[stevenacton · 10/10 · 24 July 2016]

This was a great documentary of the tomb of the unknown soldiers. Thanks to all of the service men and women out there who risk their lives for our freedom.

This documentary has explained things that the general public would not necessarily be aware of.

Neal Schrodetzki, Ethan Morse and his team did a wonderful job portraying what the sentinel's do on a day to day basis while training.

Arlington national cemetery is a humbling experience for any American citizen.

The cinematography was excellent. The story it told was compelling and held my interest throughout the documentary.

Excellent Documentary!

I was mesmerized by this documentary. The men and women who unselfishly guard the Tomb of the Unknowns are very special people. This documentary made me weep uncontrollably as I realized the patriotism that flows through the Guards.

Three cheers to Time to Kill Productions for delivering this much- needed story to us.

Inspiring documentary of young men and women who guard the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Well done documentary about the dedication and hard work of the men and women who serve in the US Army guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Interesting background information (I hadn't heard that one soldier was later identified and removed from the tomb!) about the memorial itself and amazing story about what the soldiers must go through and endure to become one of the elite Tomb Guards. The fact that few soldiers ever achieve the standard of perfection required to perform this duty is telling. It takes a special person, a special heart and a special soul to take on this grueling and honorable job. Beautiful cinematography. Well done narrative and editing.

Superb!

A truly extraordinary documentary! Covers the history of the Tomb of the Unknowns; the selection and training of the 'Newbies; the sacrifices and dedication required of the men and women who decide to try out for the Tomb Guard Identification Badge, along with of those that receive it. In the making of this film, the standard of the producers remained perfection! Great family viewing. All segments are excellent but I particularly found the ending very moving. Don't delay in purchasing this wonderful expose'.

Fantastic documentary

I watched this twice and was in awe of the dedication of these soldiers. I found myself crying several times on my flight to Hawaii. These guys really love America and I feel safe with men and women like this around. God bless them all. I think I will schedule a trip to Arlington soon.

Inspiring documentary about one of the most elite badges awarded in the entire US Military. Proud to have a family member who earned this badge and still honors it well.
