America: The Story of Us

How America was built.

64%(14)IMDbHistoryDocumentary

A six-night miniseries presenting the history of how the United States was invented, looking at the moments where Americans harnessed technology to advance human progress -- from the rigors of linking the continent by transcontinental railroad to triumphing over vertical space through the construction of steel-structured buildings. The series also is a story of conflict, with Native American peoples, slavery, the Revolutionary War that birthed the nation, the Civil War that divided it, and the great world war that shaped its future.

Directed byClare Beavan, Marion Milne, Renny Bartlett, Andrew Chater, Nick Green, Jenny Ash
