Brooklyn Bridge | PBS
It's a symbol of strength and vitality. In the time of its creation, it was a source of controversy. This documentary examines the great problems and ingenious solutions that marked the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge. From conception to construction, it traces the bridge's transformation from a spectacular feat of heroic engineering to an honored symbol in American culture.
The “Great East River Bridge” was the largest bridge of its era, a technical accomplishment of unparalleled scope, marked by enormous construction problems, equally ingenious solutions and heroic human achievement. In unexpected and wonderful ways, the Brooklyn Bridge captured the imagination of all Americans and, in the process, became a symbol in American culture of strength, vitality, ingenuity and promise.
In his Academy Award® nominated film Brooklyn Bridge, Ken Burns captures the physical majesty of this greatest of all achievements of the industrial age, the dramatic story of the larger-than-life men, who imagined and built it, and the immense charm this granite and steel structure has exerted on generations of city dwellers.
