The 90s: The Last Great Decade?
TV Show · Documentary · History

Like most decades, the 1990s were filled with highs and lows. Technology paved the way for a digital future, and billionaires were created faster than ever before. But there were the Columbine massacre, a growing al-Qaida threat, and scandals involving President Clinton. On the heels of its popular miniseries deconstructing the 1980s, National Geographic Channel delves into the 10 years when the Web was wide open, and 10 years before global terror hit hard. `The '90s: The Decade That Connected Us' features 120 original interviews - from unsung heroes behind the decade's most riveting stories, to the biggest names in politics, tech, movies and music - and memorable footage to revisit the years between the Cold War and the War on Terror.
