The American Future A History S01E01

The American Future: A History, by Simon Schama Friday 10 October 9:00pm - 10:00pm BBC2 1/4 American Plenty Simon Schama brings his ripe turn of phrase and love of America to this latest sweeping history lesson. It's designed as a scene-setter for the upcoming presidential elections, starting with a problem that haunts the contest - the ecology, stupid. It feels like a downbeat episode with which to open, but the account here of how industrial farming turned the breadbasket of the prairies into a dustbowl is vividly imagined, heartfelt and it makes you stop and think. That's the idea - to make us realise why we're at such a stark moment of truth. And it works. Schama may be a bit too fond of showing himself framed against a sunset or gazing at the horizon from astride a rocky outcrop, but his vision of how current droughts mean "the American garden is withering on the vine" is hard to resist. Let's hope McCain and Obama are watching, too. --- File Information --- File Name: The American Future A History s01e01.thebox.hannibal.avi File Size: 490,471,424 --- Container Information --- Base Type: AVI(.AVI) --- Video Information --- Video Codec Name: XviD 1.0.3 Duration: 59:20.760 frame Width (pixels): 608 frame Height (pixels): 336 Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.000 Display Aspect Ratio: 1.810 frames Per Second: 25.000 Video Bitrate (kbps): 964 --- Audio Information --- Audio Codec: 0x0055 MPEG-1 Layer 3 Audio Sample Rate(Hz): 48000 Audio Bitrate(kbps): 128 Audio Channel Count: 2
