About A Big History of America
Documentary depicting the historic moments that defined America's journey from barren wilderness to global superpower, featuring contributions from experts and archive footage. Beginning with the first Viking visitors a millennium ago and the Pilgrim Fathers settling at Plymouth Harbour, the film also takes in independence in the 18th century, as well as the gold rush, civil war and the abolition of slavery in the 19th century.
Directed by Laura Nash, A Big History of America leans on a strong ensemble — Dempsey Bovell — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2020.
