written and presented by James Burke, directed by Mick Jackson
“The series was produced and directed by Mick Jackson of the BBC Science and Features Department and first aired in 1978 (UK) and 1979 (USA). It took an interdisciplinary approach to the history of science and invention, and demonstrated how various discoveries, scientific achievements, and historical world events were built from one another successively in an interconnected way to bring about particular aspects of modern technology.” —Wikipedia
This is another superb example of the genius of James Burke, whose Connections Series has rightly garnered all sorts of awards…This journey will introduce the student to the famous as well as the obscure. This film is a wonderful intellectual romp —The American Film and Video Review
