The documentary Hallowed Ground tells the story of the American Battle Monuments Cemeteries on foreign soil. The write-up says:
This hour-long program visits twenty-two America's overseas military cemeteries in eight different countries. Each of these places is a national treasure, with fascinating stories to tell. The program weaves elements of a historical documentary with beautiful, contemporary scenes of the cemeteries, and powerful stories about the men and women who are buried in them.
The documentary has already aired, but copies are available on DVD.
Here are links to the story and to the PBS site where the DVD can be purchased:

I tracked these links down by following threads from the American Battle Monuments site.
I did not see the documentary and can offer no personal comments. But I have heard some positive feedback.
