Amazing Discovery of D.C., 26 March 2007
10/10
Author: carrymeaway05 from United States

I have been to Washington 4 times since I entered high school and am now in college and I must admit that it is one of my favorite places in all the world. I watched this video on my first entry through Maryland with my teacher and enjoyed it so much that we decided to make it an annual event while visiting the city. Richard Dreyfus does a great job of narrating but what I really love is how they include so much American history throughout the entire tour of D.C. I am leading another group to Washington this coming up December and I plan to show the video a few weeks before the trip just to get a grasp of what we will all be going on during the week. I also like how they intertwine the different monuments within each other's stories and keep them updated as they go along. Love this documentary. Great for intros to the city.
