影片内容介绍
剧情简介
The People’s Century is a television documentary series examining the 20th century. It was a joint production of the BBC in the United Kingdom and PBS member station WGBH Boston in the United States. First shown on BBC in 1995, the 26 parts of one hour each deal with the socio-economic, political, and cultural movements that shaped the 20th century. The documentary won the International Emmy Award, the George Foster Peabody Award and several others.
As we enter the new millennium, People’s Century pauses to look back, inviting the people who participated in the great events of our century to reflect on what we’ve accomplished, where we’ve failed, how things have – and haven’t – changed, where we’ve been, how far we’ve come and how far we still have to go. From the front lines of war to the battle against racism, the fight for freedom to the struggle for equality: Those who where there tell the stories of our times as People’s Century celebrates the human spirit – and history on a human scale.
The twentieth century has been one of unrivaled extremes – from the height of human accomplishment to the greatest depths of inhumanity. It is also a history defined equally by unencumbered intellectual achievement and astonishing ignorance, war and peace, democracy and dictatorship, by individual resolution and mass revolution. People’s Century offers a powerful and personal new perspective on this past, making “history and television for citizens of the twentieth century,” says Dor-Ner, “and for the children of the twenty-first.”
A departure from other documentaries that observe history as the actions of great men, People’s Century tells the story of the century through interviews with people from all walks. It documents significant times with archive footage of events, combined with personal photographs. One memorable aspect is its title clip and music, a depiction of moments from the century - It consists of a tracking shot of a miniature landscape which resembles the events pictured, for example ruins of wars, streets from the Jazz Age, palm trees from Vietnam and a model of the Berlin Wall partly wrecked. The piece was made in Prague, in the Czech Republic. The theme music was by composer Zbigniew Preisner. Panoramic Images from World War I, the Russian Revolution, the Great Depression, the Holocaust, World War II, the Space Age, the May 1968 student revolution, the Iranian Revolution, the Cold War, and the fall of the Berlin Wall are also featured in the title clip.
The British version was narrated by Sean Barrett and Veronika Hyks, the American version by actors John Forsythe and Alfre Woodard.
People’s Century was coproduced by the BBC and WGBH with executive producers Peter Pagnamenta and Zvi Dor-Ner, respectively; along with producer David Espar.
