Landmark events from the 1920s are restored to colour. Footage includes the bombing of Wall Street, the Greenwood massacre, and other seminal moments of the `Roaring 20s'.
From the Great Depression and Dust Bowl nightmares to Technicolor Hollywood dreams, it's the 1930s in America as only few have seen them...in full colour.
Colour footage of 1940s America gives a rare look at the decade's most significant moments, including Nazi sympathizers in World War II, Pearl Harbor, the Manhattan Project and the rise of prosperity.
Witness the 1950s when teens discovered rock `n' roll, Elvis became a phenomenon, the Space Race took off, and war in Korea erupted.
Witness the dawn of modern America through images and footage shown in full colour: from the Cuban Missile Crisis to the music of the Beatles, the March on Washington to the walk on the moon.
The legend of the American West as a feral and untamed land is a potent myth, from the Gunfight at the OK Corral to iconic showman Buffalo Bill. The spirit of the Wild West persists even as the dynamic region paves the way for modern-day America.
