Name: The Remarkable 20th Century
Genre: Documentary
Rating: 8.1
Cast: Howard K. Smith, Jimmy Hodson

Good recap of 20th century history, but...

I pay a monthly fee for Amazon Prime. In this documentary, I am forced to watch (or wait it out) commercials. Why am I paying to receive commercials? Is this a test by Amazon to see if paying customers will accept this mistreatment?

If I see this practise again on Prime, they can kiss me goodbye.

Otherwise, I enjoyed Howard K. Smith's narration of this documentary.

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people.
