Brooklyn Bridge

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Along with the Statue of Liberty, the Empire
State Buildingand the World Trade Center, the Brooklyn Bridge is one of New York's best-loved landmarks.
Considered a technological achievement of unparalleled scope when it was built in the late 1800s, the bridge is now an icon of popular culture.
In the second of two films about New York's celebrated constructions, Ken Burns uses rare archive material, old movie footage, and time-lapse photography to explore the bridge's legacy. Paul Roebling - great grandson of the builder of the bridge - Arthur Miller and Kurt Vonnegut add their voices.
