National Geographic - Lewis & Clark - Great Journey West Reviews
Very well done for a short historical film
As a middle school history teacher I was looking for a video that would capture my students interest without glossing over or missing the historical importance of the Lewis and Clark journey. I found this video to not only be entertaining but factually on the mark. I had originally previewed the PBS Lewis and Clark production and found it to be very detail oriented but not suitable for a classroom. So if you are looking for a historically accurate video on Lewis and Clark for your classroom the NG version is the best. If you are leaning toward hidden truths of Lewis and Clark check out the PBS version.
Needs to be longer
I came away from viewing this video thinking it would be pretty decent for educational purposes - probably late grade school through junior high. I did learn a little, but forty minutes just is not enough time to get into a journey of that length at all. I do think they use the forty minutes worth of film well, though (speaking of information, not entertainment).
If you are pretty unknowledgable about Lewis and Clark and are looking for something that will inform you on the basics of their journey, then it is worth getting.
