One Sky Above Us. The West, a Film by Stephen Ives
Description
Los Angeles steals its water supply, millions of Mexicans migrate north, and Hollywood begins to shape the West and the nation's image of it. At the end of the 19th century, America celebrated the "closing" of the West, but differing historical accounts in this program help viewers learn how the West's story never ends, and how it continues to influence American life today.
