Histoire de la construction du canal de Panamá, l'une des entreprises les plus coûteuses de l'histoire de l'humanité, aussi
bien en dollars qu'en vies humaines.
Résumé : Les Français entreprennent la percée du canal de
Panamá en 1880. Dépassés par l'ampleur de la tâche, ils renoncent avant d'avoir achevé le chantier. Les Américains relèvent le défi et terminent la construction du canal en 1914. Le prix à payer
pour couper l'isthme qui sépare les deux Amériques a été considérable : dix ans de travaux épuisants, 350 millions de dollars qui ont pesé lourdement sur le budget fédéral, et la perte de plus de
5000 vies humaines. Gros plan sur quelques personnalités dont le rôle fut essentiel, comme Ferdinand de Lesseps, Theodore Roosevelt ou William Gorgas, un médecin militaire qui a mis au point un
programme d'éradication de la fièvre jaune.

On August 15th, 1914, the Panama Canal opened connecting the world’s two largest oceans and signaling America’s emergence as a global
superpower. American ingenuity and innovation had succeeded where, just a few years earlier, the French had failed disastrously. But the U.S. paid a price for victory: more than a decade of
ceaseless, grinding toil, an outlay of more than 350 million dollars—the largest single federal expenditure in history to that time – and the loss of more than 5,000 lives. Along the way, Central
America witnessed the brazen overthrow of a sovereign government, a revolutionary public health campaign, the backbreaking removal of hundreds of millions of tons of earth, and construction on an
unprecedented scale. The story of the canal features a delightful cast of colorful characters ranging from an indomitable President to visionary engineers to tens of thousands of workers from
around the world, rigidly segregated by race. Using an extraordinary archive of photographs and footage, some remarkable interviews with canal workers and first hand accounts of life in the Canal
zone, director Stephen Ives and producer Amanda Pollak (New Orleans, Roads to Memphis) unravel the remarkable story of one of the world’s most significant technological
achievements.
