The 20th Century
The 20th Century was a documentary television program which ran on the CBS network from 1958 until 1970. It was hosted by Walter Cronkite.
The program presented filmed reports on news and cultural events that were important for the development of the 20th century. The show did not just present the events, but also interpreted them. Such subjects as World War I and major assassinations were presented in context.
When the show returned for the 1967 season, it was renamed The 21st Century. The show's focus changed to the future, and what mankind could look forward to.
