What was it like to be a kid in the early 1900s, a teen in the ’teens, and an adult from the Roaring Twenties to the Digital Age? Using compelling interviews, this documentary tells the fascinating story of the 20th century in the words of those whose lives have spanned it. Assisted by archival footage, these vibrant centenarians candidly recall the lifestyle of an old-fashioned America and provide a unique perspective on the events that shaped the past hundred years, from the labors of a pre-electric society, to World War II, to the Civil Rights Movement, and beyond. This program is an excellent resource for teaching the value and art of oral history. An HBO Production. (59 minutes)
