1924 On the Line

1924 On the Line - is yet another installment from the PBS series People's Century 1900 - 1999. Each episode focuses on the life of ordinary people generally centered around a topic and a year. In this episode, we look at how the assembly line changed not only the life of the manufacturing classes but also the lives of those who bought the cheaper products produced on the assembly line. Combines archival footage and interviews with those who lived through it to provide a popular look at the last century. Can be a bit dry at times (I found myself napping through this installment) but I especially enjoy that we are not only provided a look at the American examples but also see and hear from those in other countries as well. Interesting, but not great.
