One of my favorite TV productions is The Commanding Heights by PBS. In this show you can grasp a concentration of change from economic, social and political viewpoints in the world during 20th century.
The Commanding Heights Storyline provides a complete netcast of the six-hour television program as originally broadcast — in three two-hour episodes. The episodes are subdivided into chapters, captioned, and enhanced with additional interactive content not available on television.
The version now being rebroadcast on PBS television, divided into six one-hour episodes, presents some segments of the story in a different order
