Dawn of the Eye

Season 1 Episode 1: Born Among Clowns

Traces the beginnings of the filmed-news industry from the development of the movie camera by the Lumière brothers in 1895. Within ten years, cutthroat news companies were in competition throughout the world. Newsreels graduated from vaudeville audiences to millions of movie-goers. Much of what people saw in this era, however, was actually staged by pre-Hollywood film studios. Rare footage includes some of the first images ever recorded on film.
