On November 22nd, 1987, two local Chicago TV stations had their broadcasts interrupted by a man dressed as the 80's icon, Max Headroom. The resulting mystery is a stunning example of culture jamming, with thousands of people still trying to solve it more than 30 years later.

American Legends is a documentary series by Brian Petillo, exploring interesting figures and phenomena across American History that helped shape the country's cultural makeup. This is the inaugural episode of what will hopefully be a monthly series.

This is my first time making anything with VO, especially with my voice, so I apologize for some rough spots in the narration. It's all a learning experience for me in that regard and the next installment will be a lot smoother in that regard. Anyway, enjoy!
