The
events that shaped our world: from the tragedies of history to the
triumphs of scientific development. There are landmarks of our time
that, when linked together, provide a distillation of the 20th Century's
defining experiences: on each of these two days the lives of millions
were changed for ever. Incredible breakthroughs; acts of shocking
brutality; icons for change in a callous world; and stories underlined
by hope all form the themes of these compelling programmes. Moments
such as the liberation of Nelson Mandela, the assassination of MLK,
the first transatlantic radio message, the breaking of the sound
barrier, the first nuclear reaction and the moon landings, are examined
through dramatic reconstruction, eye-witness accounts and archive
footage.
