Synopsis: Project Twenty Films
The NBC News Project Twenty productions of the 1950s and 1960s created the world of the historical documentary for prime time TV. The series derived its title from the century in which we live, and put together, these programs add up to the composite drama of our age. This is the series that first perfected techniques of combining archival film and scanned still photos with a rich, musical score and compelling narration. Winner of almost every major broadcasting award, including the Emmy, the Peabody and the Robert J. Flaherty Awards, Project Twenty set the standards against which all subsequent documentaries are measured.
