Hour-long documentaries placing the Space Program in the context of its times.

This documentary series, produced by Richard Paul with Soundprint, explores American society during the Space Age. In the 1950s, 1960s and early '70s many focused on the Space Race between the US and the Soviet Union, but many other important issues also swept through the country during that period -- the Civil Rights movement, the Woman's Movement and the Cold War. Each of these three programs looks at the interplay between the Space Program and one of these other issues.
