I can't believe nobody has comented on this
It's a pity, but it seems like nobody has seen this series. I did.
It covers all the major events of the 20th century, and takes interviews from people that were cogs in the wheel. Amazing interviews from regular people that took part in the Russian Revolution, the Cambodian genocide, the rise of Nazi Fascism, the space age, Vietnam, the Great Depression, etc etc etc.
It almost makes me want to cry that this amazing series is forgotten.
