Fecha de emisión: Ene 14, 2017

By the 1920's, Manhattan is a warren of skyscrapers. It pumps out huge volumes of information, and feeds the burgeoning desires of the masses. Everyone is on the make for wealth and pleasure. Manhattan is forging a new mass society. In this episode, we turn our lens to American society in the 1920's, a world of light and shadow, of celebration and despair. We also see Duke Ellington, Babe Ruth, Charles Lindbergh and Japan's imperial succession.
