Why no region 1? November 16, 2008

My husband works in the AF in NBC readiness. We saw this movie years ago and he's been wanting it. The one I'm thinking of was a drama, not a documentery, about Gulf War Syndrome. I can't find this anywhere on DVD for region 1. So the christmas shopping continues...
 IS this DVD "Thanks of a Grateful Nation"??? IF so, its excellent, but also a VERY big if. October 17, 2008

I have what I HOPE is this movie on tape, one which I thought was among the very best documentaries I've ever seen. My rating is based on it, "Thanks of a Grateful Nation," produced by and perhaps seen only on Showtime. Not a film with the cover title, the tags associated with it or reflected in the foregoing reviews. They appear to constitute reviews of an entirely different movie.
For example, while the actors are accurately listed, the film was NOT about the war as the reviews indicate. Rather, it was about Gulf War Syndrome and the resulting government/ military insensitivity, political heroism of a lone senator as well as, of course, the immense suffering of veterans and their families. I would love a copy of THAT documentary on DVD, but the reviews strongly suggest that this one is unfortunately anything but.
 Haven't seen ANYTHING worse than this. October 10, 2006

I've bought one and now regret it alot. The video quality is, by far, the worst I've ever seen on DVD, looks like it was recorded from live TV broadcast by a 30 years old VCR plugged into a 40 years old TV set, and the cassete spent 2 to 3 years on some electric magnet before being digitized to DVD.
Not much documentary footage, but alot of the host speculations are filmed, making it look like a bad case of some TV show. Don't even think of buying - if you want a Gulf war documentary look at "Desert Triumf" which is not perfect, but light years ahead of this title.
A great movie January 13, 2006

I actually was in this movie, I played Alexandra Small when I was 5, but anyways, I actually love this movie. It is quite a good portrayal of the Gulf War.

Curious that the title shown during the film is NOT the title on the cover of the box. Still, a thorough & engrossing review of Coalition air activities during this historic conflict.
