Another reliably well-crafted, generally engrossing documentary from Ken Burns, Lewis & Clark employs the director's now-familiar approach to his subjects, from its elegant juxtaposition of period illustrations and portraits against newly filmed footage of historic sites to Burns's repertory of accomplished actors to provide gravitas for quotes from the key figures. Granted the formula has become familiar enough to allow parody, but Burns knows how to invest his historical investigations with movement and drama, making this four-hour journey a worthwhile trip.
As narrated by Hal Holbrook, Dayton Duncan's script explicates the agenda presented by Thomas Jefferson to Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, placing it in the context of the young country's gamble in Jefferson's Louisiana Purchase, and the expedition's goals for opening the West. While preserving the heroic scale of the undertaking, Burns also finds time to delve into the politics of the venture and the disparate personalities of the two explorers; in particular, Duncan and Burns look at the career of Lewis, the presidential protégé, his moody demeanor, and his untimely death. The film also looks beyond its titular leaders to examine the personalities of their corps of soldiers, their boatmen, and the Indians they met and depended on, most notably their female Shosone guide, Sacagawea. --Sam Sutherland

Description
The most important expedition in U.S. history might have failed but for the heroism of this teenage girl. She was an expectant mother, but she endured every hardship these seasoned soldiers experienced. Without her, the Corps of Discovery would have failed. This program re-enacts her journey in her own words. Taken captive as a child during a raid, adopted into the tribe of her captors, and then married off, her adventures have only just begun. After Lewis & Clark journey to her village on assignment from President Jefferson, Sacagawea joins the expedition in seeking a northwest passage to the sea. Digging up edible roots and negotiating for horses, she saves the Corps of Discovery, time and time again. With live-action cinematography, the Lewis & Clark journey is beautifully reenacted. The program carefully traces the journey from St. Louis to Fort Mandan in North Dakota, over the Rockies to the Pacific and back. This is the Lewis & Clark journey, in her words. Extra Feature: The Living Legacy of Lewis & Clark - They shaped America. Through thousands of miles of raw wilderness on their voyage of discovery, the Captains touch on areas that are national parks today. One of those parks is counted among the natural wonders of the world. In these natural parks, we see the untamed, unspoiled America that they saw. Here, we make our own voyage of discovery.

Customer Reviews:
NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC'S LEWIS & CLARK.......2007-06-05
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS DVD -- IT IS EXCEPTIONALLY WELL DONE, ACCURATE, BEAUTIFULLY FILMED AND EXPERTLY NARRATED. WHAT A SUPER WAY FOR ME AND MY SON TO LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR GREAT (X5) GRANDFATHER CAPT. WILLIAM CLARK. IT ADDS DIMENSION AND CASTS LIGHT ON STORIES I'VE READ AND HEARD FROM MY FAMILY REGARDING THE EXPEDITION -- MAKES IT ALL ALOT MORE 'VIVID' TO SEE WHAT THEY WENT THROUGH AND TRULY HOW REMARKABLE THIS BRAVE GROUP WAS - AWESOME!!!National Geographic - Lewis & Clark - Great Journey West (Special Edition)
History, but in a fun way........2007-05-13
I found this documentary very enjoyable in an informative kind of a way. We saw clips in my History class, then I had a strange urge to add it to my DVD collection. It was very well done, with good naration.
National Geographic - Lewis and Clark The Journey West.......2007-04-07
One of the best historical DVD's ever. The photography was incredible, giving me the sensation of going down the River right along with the explorers. The historical detail and anecdotes were very interesting. This DVD was so incredibly interesting, making me realize how lucky the explorers were to survive. Sagacawea's part in the survival story was given the highest respect. As a teacher, I found this very appropriate for children grades 4 and higher.
Good classroom lesson.......2007-01-10
I felt I was actually on the trip with Lewis and Clark during this presentation. After having read Stephen Ambrose's marvelous book on this duo's adventure, I thought it would be nice to put myself as close to the situation as possible. Loved every minute of it.
Lewis & Clark - The great Journey West.......2006-11-11
Most of my Zone 4 dvd's open here in China without problems hence the many purchases. This DVD product is specifically marked with a Security label warning and would not play either. I just wish that such products specifically labelled are highlighted in the on-line catalogue before one reaches the shopping basket and thus save the hassles of product return. Maybe the delivery destination can also be used as a cross check for labelled security products. A one star rating was assigned to progress along the the review program steps although the product was unopened.

Description
Sent by President Thomas Jefferson to find the fabled Northwest Passage, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark led the most important expedition in American history a voyage of danger and discovery from St. Louis to the headwaters of the Missouri River, over the Continental Divide to the Pacific. It was the United States' first exploration of the West and one of the nation's most enduring adventures. This extraordinary film tells the remarkable story of the entire Corps of Discovery not just the two famous Captains, but the young army men, French-Canadian boatmen, Clark's African-American slave, and the Shoshone woman named Sacagawea, who brought along her infant son. Journey with them all, across a breath-taking landscape in an unforgettable experience that explores both the history and promise of America.
