This
eight part, twelve and a half hour series, (directed by Stephen Ives) traces
the history of the American West from its tribal origins and first Spanish
explorers to the early 20th century discovery of oil and the ironic mythologizing
of its appeal in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. In dozens of stories told
from every perspective, the series evokes the tragic, beautiful and uplifting
intersection where the best of us met the worst of us and nothing in America
was left unchanged or unaffected. |
