Technical info:
This DVD was sourced from high-quality 25fps PAL torrents that were recorded off-air in the UK. It was conformed to the NTSC "film" frame-rate (23.98fps) but your player will insert the necessary frames to display it on a traditional NTSC TV (29.97fps). The decision to use an NTSC format was based on 2 factors:

1) This series was broadcast in the UK. Viewers in the U.S.A. will probably never see this on TV or via commercial DVD, due to the expense of licensing the archive footage. So by using an NTSC format, I hope that the work can more easily reach a North American audience.

2) NTSC discs can be played by almost all PAL players, but many NTSC players cannot play PAL discs (regardless of region-coding).

[A look at how former Ghanaian leader Kwame Nkrumah set Africa ablaze with his vision of a new industrial and scientific age.]
At the heart of his dream was to be the huge Volta dam, generating enough power to transform West Africa into an advanced utopia. But as his grand experiment took shape, it brought with it dangerous forces Nkrumah couldn't control, and he slowly watched his metropolis of science sink into corruption and debt.

[In the 1950s scientists and politicians thought they could create a different world with a limitless source of nuclear energy.]
But things began to go wrong. Scientists in America and the Soviet Union were duped into building dozens of potentially dangerous plants. Then came the disasters of Three Mile Island and Chernobyl which changed views on the safety of this new technology.
