Description
After the Civil War, humanity entered an era of innovation, transformation and mass production. People believed that "anything, everything, is possible." This documentary looks at Japan’s rapid industrialization after two centuries of feudalism; how the Titanic disaster shook our faith in technology, the development of vulcanized rubber; how photography and mass media exposed genocide in the Belgian Congo; and the discovery of penicillin that revolutionized medicine and saved millions of lives.
