American Experience (1988) S05E03 Donner Party, The (1992)

[David McCullough ... Narrator (voice), J.D. Cannon ... (voice), Timothy Hutton ... (voice), Gene Jones ... (voice), Amy Madigan ... (voice), Donal McCann ... (voice), George Plimpton ... (voice), Paul Roebling ... (voice), Lois Smith ... (voice), Frances Sternhagen ... (voice), Eli Wallach ... George McKinstry (voice)]
- Doomed attempt to get to California in 1846. More than just a riveting tale of death, endurance and survival. The Donner Party's nightmarish journey penetrated to the very heart of the American Dream at a crucial phase of the nation's manifest destiny. Touching some of the most powerful social, economic and political currents of the time, this extraordinary narrative remains one of the most compelling and enduring episodes to come out of the West. [Director: Ric Burns] [TV Episode, Season 5, Episode 3, 82 min, 1.33 : 1, Documentary | History, USA]
- "Čudno je gledati sa kakvom grozničavom željom Amerikanci tragaju za blagostanjem. Uvek progonjeni senovitom sumnjom, da možda nisu izabrali najbrži put da ga dobiju. Odnose se prema stvarima ovoga sveta kao da su sigurni da nikada neće umreti. A ipak jure da zgrabe sve što im dođe na dohvat, kao da očekuju da će prestati da žive pre nego što se nauživaju. Smrt se pojavljuje na kraju i zaustavlja ih pre nego što se umore od te uzaludne potrage za potpunom ispunjenošću koja im uvek beži." - Aleksis Totopfil. Počelo je 1840-ih, podstaknuto finansijskom panikom na istoku, epidemijama kolere i malarije i neutaživom američkom težnjom o pomeranju na zapad. Kada je pionirsko kretanje započelo, manje od 20.000 belih amerikanaca živelo je zapadno od reke Misisipi. 10 godina kasnije useljavanje je preraslo u bujicu. I pre nego što je završilo, više od pola miliona muškaraca, žena i dece zakoračilo je u divljinu na mestima kao Independens u Misuriju i zaputilo se na daleki put do Oregona i Kalifornije. Na pojedinim mestima, točkovi njihovih kola urezali su trag, do ramena dubok, u kameniti put. I sami naseljenici, znali su da stvaraju istoriju. Biće to primljeno, zapisao je jedan useljenik, kao legenda na granici sa mitom. Ali od svih priča koje su proizašle sa zapada, ni jedna se nije urezala dublje u maštu američkog naroda od priče o Donerovom karavanu, visoko u Sijera Nevadi, u zimi 1846. godine. Ljudski napor i neuspeh, posrtanja, greške, ambicija i pohlepa, svi elementi. I ako to zovete spasavanjem preživelih - srećan kraj je srećan kraj. Ali šta je sa onima koji nisu preživeli? Užasno, užasno. Mislim da smo znatiželjni o ljudima koji su iskusili teškoće, prošli kroz strašna iskušenja. A u Donerovom karavanu, 87 ljudi, prošli su kroz krizu sa kakvom je malo ljudi bilo ikad suočeno.

American Experience (1988) S22E02 Wyatt Earp (2010)

[Michael Murphy ... Narrator, Bob Boze Bell ... Himself - Writer, Katherine Benton-Cohen ... Herself - Historian, Anne M. Butler ... Herself - Historian, Jim Dunham ... Himself - Historian, Paul A. Hutton ... Himself - Historian, Andrew C. Isenberg ... Himself - Historian (as Andrew Isenberg), Gary L. Roberts ... Himself - Historian, William B. Shillingberg ... Himself - Writer, Casey Tefertiller ... Himself - Writer]
- Wyatt Earp has been portrayed in countless movies and television shows but these popular fictions belie the complexities and flaws of a man whose life is a lens on politics, justice and economic opportunity on the American frontier. He was a caricature of the Western lawman, and after his death in 1929, distressed Americans transformed him into a folk hero: a central figure in how the west was won, a man who took control of his own destiny. [Director: Rob Rapley] [TV Episode, Season 22, Episode 2, 53 min, 16:9 HD, Documentary | History, USA]
- Vajat Erp predstavlja pravdu, a ta pravda je izvršna. Kroz zakon, ponekad i izvan njega, ako je neophodno. On predstavlja anđela osvete u koga svi želimo da verujemo. Trideset sekundi njegovog života je osnova tog mita. Obračun kod "O.K. Korala" je među najpoznatijim događajima u američkoj istoriji. Revolveraški obračun je događaj koji će ga stalno pratiti. Definiše ono što je Divlji Zapad bio. Vajat Erp je voleo kaubojske filmove. 1920-tih je putovao sa jednog na drugi kraj Los Anđelesa samo da bi pogledao najnovije ostvarenje. Vajat je uvek tražio izlaz iz monotonije svog tesnog bungalova. Obožavao je filmove u kojima se mogao poistovetiti sa filmskim junacima. Četrdeset godina ranije, u rudarskom gradiću u Arizoni, Vajat i njegova braća uvučeni su u okršaj koji će odjeknuti Zapadom. Tumston i "O.K. Koral" ga od tada proganjaju. Jedan njegov brat je osakaćen, drugi ubijen. Otišao je i našao krivce. Nije sumnjao. Verovao je da postupa ispravno. Ali će mu se to uvek vraćati. Vajat Erp je dugo tražio odgovore na pitanja. Pitao se, ko su ti stranci koji žele da se rukuju sa ubicom. Sanjario je o filmovima koji će stvari postaviti na svoje mesto. Glumio bi ga najbolji holivudski glumac u to vreme, Vilijem S. Hart. "Ako biste vi ispričali tu priču", pisao je Hartu, "javnost se više ne bi hranila lažima o meni." Hart nikad nije snimio film o Vajatu, a Vajat nije dočekao da vidi svoje iskupljenje. Ali nekoliko godina nakon njegove smrti, pisci i režiseri su Vajata Erpa pretvorili u novu vrstu junaka Divljeg Zapada. Ovo je priča o čoveku koji je uzeo zakon u svoje ruke.
