While we absolutely are in the midst of the much discussed 'golden age of television', the soundbite doesn't go nearly far enough. We're enjoying a golden age of content!

Original programming from the web's big hitters is making the traditional TV networks look old, slow and stingy. Amazon Instant Video, SKY, and leading the way - Netflix. And in documentary terms they have again moved the bar a little higher...

"Five Came Back," is a cinephile and historian's dream come true. At times, it's almost overwhelming in its detail and varied subject matter, chronicling in three episodes so many facets of how film and war intertwined during World War II.

This superb documentary, also playing in some movie theaters, is remarkably comprehensive, reminding us today how much perception matters and how powerful film can be in shaping international narratives.

These five chronicling filmmakers didn't just influence the way we remember World War II, but how we participated in it and our perceptions at the time of the enemy and even our own fellow soldiers.

Below is the trailer, and if you don't stream the full service now - wait are you waiting for - tons more great content where this came from...
