How We Got Here
by Kirk Moore
Ordinary people, extraordinary times - what it was really like to live through history's biggest moments. From gods and empires to trenches and technology: each episode opens with a broad era overview, then zooms into one individual's day - a Cullman farm boy in 1917, a flapper in 1920s Chicago, a Roman soldier in Judea - as history happens around them. Only verifiable history; dramatized scenes are labeled as reconstruction.
