Fair Enough: Traveling through time to the "Great Exhibition" in London, 1851.

This is an introductory video to a DocuCommentary series created and narrated by Pam Dewey titled "WORLD'S FAIRS EXPOSed," which focuses primarily on the World's Fairs held in the United States since 1853. The London Great Exhibition of 1851 was the first ever World's Fair, and led directly to the establishment of periodic World's Fairs as a feature of American history for the next century and more.
Each video in the series first provides an informative and entertaining overview of a specific fair from the point of view of the visitors of the era. And then it explores behind the scenes, to consider how the fair both reflected...and AFFECTED...the social, cultural, economic, political, and philosophical aspects of the America of its time. And considers what long-lasting influence it may have even had on the future of the country...clear up to the 21st century.
