The Century We Lived

Carefully sourced documentaries about the 20th-century moments American families lived through, told plainly, from the archives.

From the Dust Bowl and the wartime home front to the night the Moon landing came into the living room, each film is built from public archives: the National Archives, the Library of Congress, NASA and presidential libraries. Every claim is listed with its source.

Now and then a short, clearly labeled AI illustration stands in for a generic scene, like an empty living room. It never shows a real person or a real event.

New documentaries every week.
