4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent documentary of the invention of television,
This review is from: American Experience: Big Dream Small Screen [VHS] (VHS Tape)
"Big Dream, Small Screen" corrects a historical oversight by chronicling the invention and exploitation of television, focusing on its true inventor Philo T. Farnsworth. Although not a household name like Edision or Bell, Farnsworth's contribution would impact the world forever. This one-hour documentary not only illustrates how Farnsworth struggled to develop television, but how he won a major legal battle with coporate giant RCA to patent it. Through interviews with Farnsworth's family, friends and colleagues and archival footage, director David Dugan captures Farnsworth's drive and genius. You may curse television or praise it; either way, you must admit it's changed the world. This film explains how that change started.
