I think these people have a really romantic, and over the top view of their city, but it's true, New York City does mean a lot to the world. I want to move there after Uni, and I'm only 16. It's an amazing place, and though it's expensive I can't think of a better place to live. Like John Lennon said "If I'd lived in Roman times, I'd have lived in Rome. Where else? Today America is the Roman Empire and New York [city] is Rome itself."

I had this dumb project on this video and I thought it would be one of those boring old videos, but I ended up liking it. (I think its because I'm a New Yorker and I like to be bragged about)

P.S. And yes, I am 12

He should have said the fate of the world. New York City should be an example of how the whole world should be the like and how everyone should be like.

Thanks so much for posting all these episodes of this wonderful documentary. I remember watching it when it first aired in the fall of 1999, and I thought then, and still think, that it is one of he greatest documentaries I have ever seen. Ken Burns gets a lot of media attention, deservedly, for his his own great documentaries, but I think this effort by his brother is as great as anything Ken ever did.
