Features: Innovative Format, Grand Scale The 20th century is one of the most significant eras in human history to look back on. To date, humanity's most remarkable scientific and technological advancements, profound social transformations, and large-scale wars have all occurred within this century. Significantly, the 20th century saw the rise of cinema and television, which recorded major global events throughout the century, making it the only era fully documented through audiovisual means, a "visible" historical panorama. This film systematically compiles the major events that took place globally across the entire 20th century in fields such as politics, economics, military affairs, science and technology, art, individuals, and social life, as well as lesser-known scenes and anecdotes, using rich and precious historical footage from renowned audiovisual archives around the world. Through these historical lenses, we revisit extraordinary and magically colored years, meet the great figures who shaped history, hear their voices firsthand, and witness pivotal moments in human history: from the death of Stalin to the assassination of Reagan, from the Berlin Wall to the Vietnam War, from the atomic bomb explosion to the first human moon landing, from a panoramic scan of Queen Elizabeth to the Miss World beauty pageant, tracking hotspots and authentically recreating the tragicomedy of humanity's performance throughout the century.
