America In Color

See the Jazz Age in all its colourful glory. Get a taste of the music and mayhem of the Roaring ’20s, including underground speakeasies, the Ford Motor Company’s new assembly lines, Charles Lindbergh’s historic flight, and pre-Depression Wall Street.

Revisit the decade of the Depression, the Dust Bowl, and Hollywood’s Technicolor dreams. Watch the stock market crash lead to a New Deal offering hope to down-and-out citizens, and experience the rebuilding and reshaping of the American dream.

Observe how WW II generated national unity and an economic boom, all while unleashing a torrent of racial prejudice. Get first-hand looks at the Pearl Harbor attack, the misery inside a Japanese-American internment camp, and victory celebrations.

Blast into the atomic age and see America’s giddy race toward progress. Feel the excitement as Elvis Presley swivels in front of his first adoring crowds, witness consumerism’s creep across the heartland, and delve into the dark days of McCarthyism.

Tune in to the decade that played out on national television. Witness the nail-biting fear of the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Beatles’ game-changing debut, clashes between love children and warmongers, and the first American footsteps on the moon.

It's the 1920s. America is on the rise, and so is a dark underworld run by a new kind of criminal, one that is organized, sophisticated, and ruthless. Follow this violent rise and fall of organized crime, presented in colour.
