The Century

A thematic documentary series exploring major events of the 20th century, based on the book by Peter Jennings and Todd Brewster. A comprehensive study was not the goal of this 12-hour undertaking; rather, it highlighted the personalities and events that shaped history, including Lindbergh's 1927 solo flight across the Atlantic and the U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam. A longer, chronological treatment, also hosted by Jennings, aired days later on The History Channel.
