Civilisation and America (2020)

An "essay in film" by Michael Maglaras, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the American public television premiere of the ground-breaking, thirteen-part BBC documentary series "Civilisation" by Lord Kenneth Clark in 1970. Featuring archival footage from "Civilisation" as well as interviews with Sir David Attenborough and James Stourton (Clark's definitive biographer), this documentary focuses on the ways in which "Civilisation" changed the lives of millions of Americans at a time of great political and social upheaval in the United States.
