This program was produced before the tragic events of September 11, 2001. For nearly 400 years, the people of New York have faced adversity and prevailed. This film is dedicated to them. The critically acclaimed, Emmy and duPont-Columbia award-winning series is back! Two new episodes bring it up to the present day, telling the story of the most fascinating and dramatic chapter of the city's history, the modern city of the 20th century. This is the New York we all recognize.
