New York: The Entire History in 34 Minutes

From a Lenape footpath on a forested island to the most recognizable skyline on earth. This is the complete story of New York City — the Dutch purchase, the British occupation, the revolution, the waves of immigrants who arrived with nothing and built everything. The draft riots and the Triangle Fire. Tammany Hall and the bosses who ran it all. The Brooklyn Bridge and the men who died building it. The birth of hip hop in a burnt out Bronx. The fiscal collapse of 1975. The morning of September 11th. And through all of it — the bankruptcy, the burning, the grief, the reinvention — a city that refused to stop. 34 minutes. 400 years. One city.
