The Epitome of 20th Century Retrospectives, March 4, 2007
This review is from: People's Century: Red Flag - Communism in Russia [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This film, and the others in the series, was produced by PBS along with the glut of specials and documentaries looking back at 1900 to 1999 that came along at the turn of the 21st century. The difference between this one and those others is that this is excellent. Actually there was one other documentary series about the 20th Century that does hold a candle to this one. That being "The Century: America's Time" which was produced by ABC News and hosted by the late great Peter Jennings. But as PBS is capable of doing, they were able to cover the century in exquisite detail over some 26 or so hours whereas ABC could only spare about 10. Both series are, in my opinion, a must for every home video library.
