Description
"In this pivotal fourth episode, the forces of capitalism and democracy in New York come to a stunning crescendo, as the city's tremendous industrial engine draws in people from around the world--tripling New York's population in less than a single lifetime. Transformed by their experience in the new world, the immigrants in turn transform the city in extraordinary ways--physically, culturally, and, in the end, politically. In addition to the epic story of immigration--the greatest movement of peoples in world history--the episode treats the building of the subway system, the construction of Penn Station and Grand Central Terminal, and, on Wall Street, the creation of the world's first skyscrapers. The film comes to a stunning climax with the horror of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, and the reform legislation passed in the aftermath, which would become the template for the New Deal."--Container.
