As the nation mobilized for war in the spring of 1918, ailing Private Albert Gitchell reported to an army hospital in Kansas. He was diagnosed with the flu, a disease about which doctors knew little. Before the year was out, America would be ravaged by a flu epidemic that killed 675,000 people--more than died in all the wars of this century combined--before disappearing as mysteriously as it began.

Comments about PBS American Experience: Influenza 1918 DVD:

I never had any idea untill I watched this how many in the U.S. alone died of it, as they said more then all other wars combined before the 1918 pandemic broke out.

A look back at a tragedy few remember.

Comments about PBS American Experience: Influenza 1918 DVD:

Fine show about the terrible influenza outbreak of 1918 that killed more Americans than all the wars of the 20th century combined. Yet few today even are aware it happened.

What a REAL Pandemic looked like!

By JT in Vancouver

Verified Reviewer

Comments about PBS American Experience: Influenza 1918 DVD:

This is a moving, heartbreaking, and in places... downright creepy documentary about a time largely forgotten by the world. It makes the Hysteria around SARS and H1N1 seem all the more foolish and self-indulgent.

This is what a REAL Pandemic looks like!

Influenza 1918

By Carole

from Detroit, MI

Verified Buyer

Comments about PBS American Experience: Influenza 1918 DVD:

This film had the excellent footage, interviews, and primary source material that American Experience does so well. I will use it for my high school classes to give a human face to the historic epidemic, particularly as it includes interviews with individuals who lost parents and friends.
