A panoramic view of the world in the 20th Century. "Mankind has probably done more damage to the Earth in the 20th century than in all of previous human history." - Jacques Yves Cousteau. “I think every age has a medium that talks to it more eloquently than the others. In the 19th century it was symphonic music and the novel. For various technical and artistic reasons, film became that eloquent medium for the 20th century." - Walter Murch.
