The Marines

With significant access to Marine Corps training facilities around the country, The Marines examine the unique Warrior Culture of the smallest but fiercest branch of the U.S. armed services. The 90-minute documentary focuses on their training and considers what it takes to become a Marine and what it means to be a Marine. This WNED PBS production premiered in August 2006.
