À propos de la série
Une série documentaire multi-niveaux (A1 et A2) qui explore huit grandes merveilles bâties par l'homme aux États-Unis, du barrage Hoover au Golden Gate Bridge, racontée à travers de vraies photographies et un audio narré. Chaque épisode ne se contente pas de décrire l'ouvrage : il explique pourquoi on a décidé de le construire, qui l'a construit et pourquoi il compte encore aujourd'hui, tout en nommant honnêtement son coût humain.
Les épisodes (6)
1A wall that holds back a river. In Black Canyon, on the Colorado between Nevada and Arizona, a wall of pale concrete drops away like a tower of sixty floors turned upside down, and a whole river waits behind it.
4:18
2The Empire State Building & the skyscraper boom
The race to the sky. Manhattan is small and its land costs a fortune, so New York built upwards: in 1931 a silver spire on one hundred and two floors became the tallest building in the world.
4:16
3A river made by hand. Five hundred and eighty kilometres of straight water across New York State, dug by people and walked by horses, joining Lake Erie to the sea.
4:05
4A concrete river across dry land. A blue line eleven hundred kilometres long, open to the sun and the wind, carrying water right across California's brown fields.
