They Made America

2004 Rated NR 4hr

In this four-part program from the producers of the "American Experience" series that originally aired on PBS, the innovators whose brainstorms and entrepreneurial spirit gave birth to such landmark advances as the steamboat and the 747 jetliner (as well as the Barbie doll and CNN) are profiled. It's an examination of more than two centuries of glorious growth and invention. Based on the titular book by journalist Harold Evans.
