Giants of Civilization: The Historical Impact of Dams
This documentary charts the history and impact of dams, the colossal structures that provide electricity, drinking water and protection to millions. It traces the engineering back to great early civilisations, from the Egyptians to the Romans, and follows its evolution to the towering barriers of today. The film weighs the benefits of these giants against the costs they impose on people and rivers. Informative and wide-ranging, it shows how human hands reshaped the flow of water itself.
