The Panama Canal (540p, in Scots Gaelic with English subtitles)
On 15 August 1914 the Panama Canal opened, connecting the world's two largest oceans and signalling America's emergence as a global superpower. American ingenuity and innovation had succeeded where, just a few years earlier, the French had failed disastrously. Along the way, Central America witnessed the brazen overthrow of a sovereign government, the influx of over 55,000 workers from around the globe, the removal of hundreds of millions of tons of earth, and engineering innovation on an unprecedented scale.
Using an extraordinary archive of photographs and footage, rare interviews with canal workers, and first-hand accounts of life in the Canal zone, this film unravels the remarkable story of one of the world's most daring and significant technological achievements.
Air an 15mh den Lùnastal, 1914, dh' fhosgail Canal a' Phanama, a' ceangal an dà chuan as motha san t-saoghal ri chèile agus a' sealltainn a' chumhachd a bha gu bhith aig Ameireaga. Bha na h-Ameireaganaich air a bhith soirbheachail far an do dh' fhàillig na Frangaich beagan bhliadhnaichean ro làimh.
Thairis air na bliadhnaichean, chunnaic meadhan Ameireagaidh cumhachd ga thoirt air falbh bhon riaghaltas, 55,000 luchd-obrach air a thoirt a-steach bho air feadh an t-saoghail, na ceudan de mhilleanan tunnaichean ùir air a thoirt air falbh, agus innleadaireachd aig ìre nach fhaca an saoghal a-riamh ron seo.
A' cleachdadh tasglann iongantach de dhealbhan agus film, seann agallamhan còmhla ris an luchd-obrach agus fiosrachadh bho daoine a bha a' fuireach faisg air làimh, tha am prògram seo ag innse sgeulachd shònraichte, aon de na gluasadan teicneòlach as motha san t-saoghal.
