American Experience

American Experience is one of the most interesting programmes on PBS. This is the way the channel describes the programme:

"Praised as the "finest documentary series on television," AMERICAN EXPERIENCE brings to life the compelling stories from our past that inform our understanding of the world today."

In American Experience you can watch dozens of documentaries which deal with American recent history, to name but a few, The Dust Bowl, The Great Famime, Stonewall Uprising, the Greely Expedition, the Hurricane of 38 and so on.

You can activate the CC subtitles in some of the documentaries, and all of them offer a downloadable transcript. As an example, here's The Panama Canal, about the construction of the canal.
