The Roaring 20s On Film: A New Rule Of America's Powerful Families | Century On Film

The Roaring Twenties was a period in American history of dramatic social, economic and political change. For the first time, more Americans lived in cities than on farms. The nation’s total wealth more than doubled between 1920 and 1929, and gross national product (GNP) expanded by 40 percent from 1922 to 1929. This was largely in thanks to a number of powerful families whose entrepreneurship catapulted the U.S forward; like Rockefeller, Morgan and Eddison.
This landmark series looks back at the history of the turbulent 20th century. With access to rare archive footage, from World War One to Vietnam anti-war protests, Nazi propaganda to the rise of global terror organisations, witness a truly defining century in human history captured on film, as it happened, by the people who lived through it.

in philippines, better make it equally distributed to me also, i darn and patch old clothes, i don't have a brand new gadget because opportunities were not given to everyone else

[@WhoisJohnGalt402]

Great people that made America what it is today, you should proud ! Who ever did this didn't get the histiry quite right, but it's close !

[@MsTropicalRookie]

interesting

[@jackteare8292]

The editing of some of these perspective episodes are shocking. The Beatles had two much noise and this has, it's hard to hear the narration.

[@thatboyscotty]

I didn't have any issues. Narration was very clear.

[@jackteare8292]

@@thatboyscotty the narration becomes unclear many times to me. That is bad production, period. All we can do is empirically know. You obviously have exceptional hearing in comparison to me......... and the Beatles one was egregious in the extreme. God bless and have a good day 🙏

The guy filming on top of the plane while it was in the air is insanity

A dizzying jumble. There isn't much difference, Perspective, between good painting and good filmmaking. This film is way too selfconscious.

[@MrOliverwoods]

Why do puff pieces on bad people ?

[@thatboyscotty]

lol what? This wasn't on any people in particular, but an age. I found it to be an entertaining and educational documentary. And the film footage used is fantastic.

[@MrOliverwoods]

@@thatboyscotty yes, entertaining.

[@jackiecarson859]

It's a documentary, not a tribunal.

[@MrOliverwoods]

@@jackiecarson859 it’s a point of view, expressed. An expression of documented facts describing events. Hitler loved dogs. There a potential documentary.
