Desert Storm: The War Begins is a raw look into the early stages of the Gulf War, showcasing CNN’s reporting in a way that feels both immediate and intimate. The pacing is methodical, drawing you into the tension of the build-up before the conflict ignites. The documentary uses a mix of footage, interviews, and news reports, creating an atmosphere that captures the uncertain mood of the time. Themes of patriotism and the reality of war are woven throughout, with a focus on personal stories that give it a human touch. It’s distinctive for its time, being one of the first to document this conflict in real-time, and that’s what makes it stand out in my collection.
